Spring is my favorite time of the year around here. We have been doing a lot of outside playing (and learning) the past few weeks. Luke asked to plant sunflowers, so we did along with pumpkin seeds [see above].
Luke's Spring soccer season just wrapped up. The Spiders, like the Dragonflies in the fall, had a bit of "Bad news Bears" syndrome but Luke really started to go after the ball by the end of the season. Jason, Stacey, and Hayley Belle came to watch his last game and I think he wanted to impress them. He almost scored a goal, but the referee got in the way and it ricocheted off her leg...what a bummer!!! I heard Luke talking to Drew a few days after the game and he said that "His Jason and Stacey came to watch him play". I thought that was sweet.
We put the ferns out on the front porch a few weeks ago and watched the finch family build their nest. They have carefully laid one new egg every day for the last four mornings. Noone has moved into our new birdhouse yet, but the birds and squirrels are constantly at the bird feeder. Another new addition is the patio furniture on our back deck. It's only taken us four years. Dinners on the deck have brought us lots of pleasure lately. An added bonus is not having to sweep and mop after every meal since the birds and squirrels take care of the "extra" that Luke and Carson generate.

Patio furniture--what a great yardsale find!
Carson's first scraped knee :( 
Another reason why the Odyssey rocks

What a fun spring you are having! Can we visit your pumpkin patch in the fall?
Too cute! If spring is this much fun I can only imagine what is in store for the fall!
