Beat the rain today

I spent most of the morning today out of the house with a friend, Kim and her 3 yr. daughter Katie. We went to work out, then to the library for story time, the grabbed McDonalds and ate lunch at the park under the shelter. The girls were so goofy, running out into the sun to "get warmed up" and running back to their food and taking bites. We played at the park for an hour, then left when they started melting down because they were exhausted and tired. Kim and I gave the girls double "under-ducks" on the swing - they laughed so hard. It wore the kids out, big time. Violet and Calvin were exhausted by the time we got home, and easily went down for long naps. As soon as I got them down for naps and took a shower, I heard the thunder start rolling and random bouts of rain would down pour and stop. Spring is SO here! Yay! The flowers are blooming, the tree on the front side of our house is completely bright pink (so pretty!), and the bushes and trees are filling in.
