Any other parents out there excited for spring weather? I know the Johnson's sure are! And it looks like we might get our wish here in Kansas this next week. Ellie is just getting so stir crazy in the house and she's ready to play outside! We got a little taste of it last week when the temperatures warmed up and now she is just itching to get back out there!

So until then, we've been embracing what is called "make your own fun". Ellie has been running around like a wild woman, unloading every book shelf, every toy from her toybox, every drawer, every non-child proofed cabinet, etc. Now if we could only teach her to put it all back!!! I think I spend a third of my day just putting everything back in it's place, but it's all worth it. Today I walked into her room when she had been quiet for a little too long and saw that she had pulled every book out of her book baskets - but then was sitting and quietly "reading" one of them! It is a rare occasion that this girl sits still long enough to look through a book! Ha!

We're having a really good time watching our little girl explore her world. Looking forward to exploring what's outside the house in hopefully not too many days!

I was just telling someone today that winters sure are longer with a toddler who wants to run and play!! We're excited to get outdoors here, too. Took our first long walk this evening and it was glorious!! Enjoy your warm week!
