Happy Helpers

Back in January, we had a week of above-freezing temperatures and most of the snow melted.  The sun came out, and Owen was asking for short-sleeves and flip flops! Instead, we went to the park. 

The kids wanted to walk around the track at the school, but their stroller pusher (me) opted to sit this one out, since the track is 100% visible from the playground.  I put Owen in charge of his sister, and he took it very seriously!  They held hands all the way around the quarter-mile track. It was pretty precious.

It was also warm enough to uncover the sandbox, which Owen enjoyed with a friend.

Since then, Owen's been revisiting some of his older toys now that Hadley is interested in them, too. Check out this block tower he built taller than him!

But, he also likes to branch out to big boy activities like practicing his writing.  He still loves school!

And we all like a little coloring now and then.

The kids have been getting along pretty well.  I'm so thankful for that and Owen's patience! Here they are enjoying their favorite activity side by side.  Makes a Mom's heart smile.

Brother-sister bo-tar duet.  Can't you just picture the family band 15+ years from now

I was finishing unloading the car and came in to find my two helpers unpacking the grocery bags!  How delightful!  Never mind that some things were stashed in random places and that Hadley's shirt was half-off.  I love their helpful dispositions!

Incidentally, this bag of chips made Hadley so happy.  I was afraid she was going to crush them into smithereens with her bear hug!

And...sometimes their 'helpful' radars are a little off.  :)
