We have spent countless hours outside in the past few days — rain or shine — because the snow is finally melting (!!) and the girls have rediscovered their swingset. More specifically, Grace has figured out how to swing really high without any help, and Tess has simply figured out that she really likes swinging. Today it was 48 degrees and partly sunny, and the girls ate their lunch outside in the "tower." They invented a game called "boombah," which seemed to consist of Grace sliding headfirst down the slide, and Tess catching her at the bottom. Tess thought this was hilarious. She also loves it when Grace does an "underdog" — pushing Tess really high on the swing, then running under it while saying "woof, woof!" We still have a lot of snow in the yard, but we also have wonderful, beautiful, joyous patches of muddy grass. And Tess has new rain boots. Yep, we're loving mud season.
