More Fun in the Sun

With the weather being so nice lately, can you blame us for taking every advantage and enjoying the sun? Our Vitamin D-starved bodies are craving the rays... and we are basking in the glory of warmth! Praise God for the true arrival of spring in the Midwest. We're always a little slower on the uptake. :)


One of our outdoor ventures on Wednesday was to a field down the street to fly a Thomas The Train kite M had received for Easter. Blustery, sunny conditions made it a perfect opportunity to let it fly. In the end, though, pregnant, clog-clad mama conditions made it not-so-ideal for us to actually get the kite into the air. lol. I tried to run a few times and took a good fall on the last go 'round, at which time I threw in the towel for the good of the family and of course, the health of my baby J! Yikes! :) I thankfully bailed to the side, which was the best place to land (though horribly embarrassing--thankfully my two kiddos are still young enough not to make fun of their mother! lol. Someday I won't be so lucky! ;)

Afterward, we returned to have a picnic in the backyard and enjoy "peanut butter and sandwich" sandwiches (according to M; Mom was out of jelly), strawberries and cantaloupe, string cheese, and baby carrots. The boys "ate up" time in the sun...

Now today we are again enjoying beautiful weather--so much so, the boys are wearing this season's first T-shirts and this mama donned a tank for her afternoon elliptical session! Hallelujah, we're warm! :)

Blessings to you all on this TGIF! On tap for Gasperini-Ville tonight is a family excursion to the local Irish pub! Tell me now to avoid the fish and chips, though I seem to be drawn these days to anything and everything fried.

God bless!
