The Return of Spring!

It's amazing what 45 degree weather feels like after a long Chicago winter. Even though it's officially a week away, Spring seems to have arrived. We took advantage with plenty of trips to the park, riding the scooters that Santa brought outside for the first time, and making our first Scooter's run of the year. In other happenings, Ella has been learning about St. Patrick's Day at school and has been busy making leprechaun traps around the house (she's convinced they are real). And Jack has recently declared his maturity. When asked if he's a baby, he says "I'm not a baby, I'm Jackie."

Jack liking what he sees...

And they play together! (They have been playing really well together lately).

Time for a tea party. 

The tea party party was a little tight.

Spring weather has arrived!

Ella was very proud of having styled her own hair.

She's showing off her second skirt (as opposed to her belly).

He looks guilty. 

St. Patty's Day at school. 

Scooter time!!!!

Playing at Harper and Harrison's house. 

The helmet is a little big yet. 

Harrison, Harper, and Ella (not sure where Jack is).

Group hug. 

There's Jack!

The return of Scooters!!!

This is where I found Jack after brushing Ella's teeth. 

He was riding "puppy" down the stairs. 

More scooter time.
