Finally 40...Degrees

YES, it has finally gotten into the upper 30's and even lower 40's the last two days. We have had 83 consecutive days with snow on the ground...and it's still not completely melted. Anyway, Lauren & Blake actually got out of the house today :) They started their day with lunch out at McDonald's. It's the only decent fast food restaurant in town. Plus, Blake loves her "nuggies". She likes to dip them in the sweet & sour sauce. Then, they hung out in the front yard with the pups. Here are a few pics from today. Blake's ready to roll with her sippy cup and a Gatorade lid that she found on the ground.

What neat rocks we have in the front yard?!

Picking up rocks

Walking on the sidewalk

The rocks are fun to trek across.

We can't leave the dogs out, so here's Maddie & Copa posing for a pic. Maddie looks a little bored with it all :) And, Copa is looking for the flash. She's obsessed with lights of any sort. So, it's always a pain to take pictures when she's around because she knows there's a flash and tends to jump in front of the camera looking for the light. That's why you'll often see Copa's back at the bottom of pictures.

Alright, this next picture has a bit of a story with it. This morning Blake left a bowl of snacks on the kitchen floor and Lauren accidentally kicked the bowl across the room. As they were picking up the snacks, Lauren was telling Blake that she needs to put her snacks up on something so that they don't get knocked over. Now, fast forward to about 4 p.m. this afternoon. Lauren walked into the kitchen and this is what she found.
Blake had found an empty garbage can and turned it over to create her own table for her snacks - too funny!!! Not sure if it actually had anything to do with what had happened earlier in the morning, but it was funny either way. She just cracks us up daily! In other Blake news, she has really started repeating us and mimicking what we do. O JOY!!! Now we really have to watch what we say and do in front of her. In fact, as I'm typing this, Blake just HAD to have her keyboard so she could sit and type too. Well, not too much else going on with us...hope all is well with everyone!

Miss you guys! Those little pants you have on her outside are so adorable. We've been taking some short walks outside here in the afternoons. It's not too bad if the wind doesn't pick up!
