Come on Spring.....we can't wait any longer!! We want our yard back, we want to pack away our toques, mitts and snow pants!! We have been trying to gain our yard back and find our grass again - we are tired of old man winter and all the snow!! With some milder temperatures, we took matters into our own hands and started shoveling and chopping away the ice and snow that covered our backyard. The boys loved it!! Okay so did I!
Rory was an awesome worker - shoveling away massive pieces of ice into our back lane way and enjoyed loading up his dumptruck to tip loads of ice out on the grass to melt.
Here Rory took some time to dig for dinosaur bones!!
Cam was also a good little worker - but had a difficult time negotiating the slippery ice in his snow boots. He love just squatting shoveling snow into his dump truck.
A little treat for Rory after some good days at school - a camp out with mum in the basement on the weekend!! It was great fun - stories shared with flashlights and Rory talking long into the night.
Of course Curious George also had to join us and keep us safe!
And what is a blog post without our boys showing off some new groovy moves!
Here they are dancing to some Thomas tunes!!
We enjoyed some sunshine and milder temperatures this past weekend and headed to our favourite spot at Fish Creek.
No rock throwing yet - as the rocks were still covered in some fairly deep snow and ice.
Although, as Rory discovered, the snow is soft in some spots and sunk up to his hips in some spots.
Cam loved getting out into the fresh air and managed a few tentative steps on the ice.
We cannot wait for the snow to melt we've got another rock thrower ready for action!
All smiles and grateful to be out of the house and back outside again.
Please stay away winter!!!
Some friends joined us for a walk and where there are boys and puddles - there will be splashing - and lots of it!!! These puddles were huge and only getting bigger the longer we stayed!
A great way to spend the weekend - although the reality of jumping in puddles from melting snow -- resulted in some very cold and soggy boys(not too mention a little grumpy after all the fun was over!) We'll be back puddles - look out!!!
