Playing outside...

We have had some beautiful weather the last two days. The winter felt so long... that's it's hard to stay inside on the days that the sun has actually been shining recently. The only minor detail during Joe's Place hours is that we can't go anywhere (the guys are not allowed to be at the house without us being here). It's a super important rule that one of us always has to be here... but sometimes it can cause us to feel a little trapped... especially on days like yesterday and Monday. Playing in the backyard is not an option because it is a muddy swamp (pretty much year round)... so that leaves the front yard. Yesterday we were able to coax everyone out of their technology caves inside the house to enjoy some fresh air (I think we've decided Carter is never getting a cell phone :)). It was great! It is possible to enjoy technology outside as well! :)
