It has been unseasonable warm here for the last 10 days and we have all been loving the spring weather. It was 80 degrees and sunny all day yesterday, which is unheard of for Chicago on St. Patty's Day. We spent almost the entire day outside in the sunshine! A few cute pics from our sneak peak at spring.
Charlie was entertained by this cup full of ice cubes for 45 minutes, it just cost me my iced tea:)
Alec and his friend Brady
Alec was thrilled to see that the leprechauns left some gold for him in the yard yesterday morning. Not something we had planned, but he woke up on Friday and started going on and on about gold and how we needed to look for it in the yard. After he spent 15 minutes before school inspecting the entire perimeter of the house, I decided I might make a trip to the party store for some gold wrapped coins for the real St. Patty's Day. We can't imagine how excited this boy will be for an Easter egg hunt this year.
Inspecting their loot
And it was so nice yesterday that Matt and Alec hung up Charlie's bday present - a new swing for the yard. He adores it, and it will be so nice for him to have somewhere to peacefully relax in the yard this spring and summer.
Yesterday alone, Alec played baseball, 5 games of soccer, Frisbee, golf, went on a 3 mile bike ride with Matt while he ran, and took 2 walks with us. He literally never gets tired.
Charlie also adores Alec's old car
Hope you all had a Happy March 17th - especially bday girl Abby Root:)

The shot that showed your yard made me laugh out loud. It's kind of obvious that there are very busy children at work in that yard. Charlie in the swing looks happy as a clam. I'm so glad the leprechaun found his way to your yard too- Tell Alec that he's (the leprechaun) been causing all kinds of trouble at school this last week.
Hope that beautiful weather holds!!!
I am glad you guys have been having great weather too! Doesn't it make you so excited for summer?! I love that Alec was so excited about the leprechaun gold-James had a similar experience and it was so much fun to watch him :)
What a fun day you all had. Great shots of the kids. Boy Charlie is growing up. Ask Alec if he knows why pirates bite gold doubloons? (Hint..part of the reason they have such dirty faces.) Bub will share the answer when she sees him next week?
