Finally! The nicer weather has arrived! No more complaining from me about being cooped up inside! Well...until its mid-summer and I'm whining about the heat and humidity of course!
Gran and Grandpa Johnson came over from Ottawa for the weekend and we had a lovely time gallivanting about in the sunshine. We went to a park near the lake and the boys had fun with Mark and Bill, going down the slide, whilst Susan and I rediscovered the joys of the see-saw. It was so nice out that my poor husband got a sunburn on his forehead!
Susan and I went out on Saturday morning sans les boys to go to Toys R Us and Old Navy to buy stuff for les boys. Gran and Grandpa very kindly bought Will and Owen a huge red crab sand box for the backyard, which I can't wait to see them in. Its really cute! And then I picked up a couple of pairs of shorts and t-shirts for the kiddiewinks - I clearly want summer to come soon!
I think the boys are quite happy with the weather too - we went out for a long walk this morning, stopping off at Tim Hortons to pick up some muffins which we ate by the lake, and then ended up at our local park, just down the street from our house. The grass is a bit muddy and dog-poopy right now, so I let the rugrats loose in the tennis courts, where they played for about 20 mins, pushing the wagon around the courts and playing peek-a-boo with each other through the nets. In fact, we had so much fun that we went back down there this afternoon, after their nap and played for another twenty minutes!
Thankfully I have enough sense to put some sunscreen on them, so they didn't burn like their daddy did on Sunday. And now they smell like summer - I almost don't want to give them a bath tonight because every time I kiss them I get a whiff of sunscreen. But it is bath night, so I'd best go run the water and I can always reapply tomorrow!
