A Big Day of Firsts!

The boys woke up way earlier than normal this morning and I have been pretty sick with a cold and sore throat so I didn't get lunch prepped so we ended up eating at Arby's for lunch after church today. I was barely able to keep Cavin awake the short drive to Arby's let alone the 15 minutes home!

As a result, Rance got to experience curly fries for the very first time! He thought they were great and kept calling them circle fries! I don't think he understood curly and I didn't think to compare it to my mess of curly hair! He just saw them as circles, which the really curly onces all stuck together are!

We came home and transferred a sleeping Cavin from carseat to bed and shortly after Rance joined him for a nap of his own. After naptime they were begging to play outside but unfortunately both Matt and I had things that needed to get done inside. This is where I wish we had a fenced in backyard that was safe for the boys to play in! One of the big reasons we are wanting to move! So I got a little creative and put our spare baby gate to block off the deck stairs to create a safe place for them to play on our empty deck! I had Matt take out the basketball goal and some cars to for them to play with. I know it wasn't exactly how they were wanting to play outside but at least they were able to enjoy the beautiful day today and get some fresh air!

I did give them a popsicle for a snack, which they both loved! Another first for Rance!

It was so incredibly nice out today that before we left for small group I made Matt go down and grab the tub of clothes/shoes I have gradually been collecting for this summer through clearance and garage sales. I dug out a pair of flip flops for both the boys to wear! Cavin hates wearing socks and shoes, they typcially come off during the car ride, but for some reason the flip flops manage to stay on!

Rance thought he was pretty big stuff wearing his new flip flops, his third first for the day! He just kept walking around the house staring at his feet. It was pretty cute. Even at smallg roup he didn't want to take them off!

Tonight at small group we were outside the entire evening. I think all of the kids loved playing outside! 

I definitely think I could get used to lots of days like today (with me feeling better of course!)

Rance is on spring break this week so I am hoping to plan a few fun things to do, I am thinking his first picnic is in order for sure, and maybe his first time swimming!
