We kicked off the season with a "Spring Fling" and invited a bunch of friends to our place for a potluck lunch. All the kiddies brought their bikes and it was so cute to see a swarm of ten kids racing up and down the cul-de-sac. R decided to wear her fairy wings on her bike as she flew up and down the street. B chose his wiggle bike and somehow his little legs were able to keep up pretty good with the crowd!
We were greeted by the sun again the next day so we decided to venture out to our favourite nearby lake. We found ourselves alone on the beach with gusty winds coming off the shore so we found a more sheltered area to play in.
R&B now have little conversations all day long. I love eavesdropping on them...Driving out to the lake B said, "When we get there will you play with me R?" and she replied, "Of course, Buddy!"
Funny how just one of these moments makes up for a million of the, "She's looking at me!/He's pulling my hair!" fiascos.
R insisted on carrying that ball and B insisted on carrying that banana. He did not want to eat it he only wanted to carry it, soooo let's just say that when we got home we made banana bread. That poor pulped banana never stood a chance!
Banana bread is a staple around here. R brings it to preschool most days...the one day that she didn't bring it apparently the 3 year olds incited a riot. Our recipe of choice is from my friend who is an excellent baker. I'm sure she won't mind if I share it here:

Spring has started off on the right foot and brought the sunshine and we tried to soak up every moment we could. We rode bikes, visited lakes, and even chucked rocks in the ocean!
Spring + Break = smiles!
