Spring

The snow finally melted.  We started playing outside again.  Trees started turning green. West Virginia has amazing springs. 

The boys had their first camp out.  They set up the tent in the backyard. Nate fell asleep and the boys stayed up to watch a movie.  They lasted all night and had a great time.

Eli and Beau love the swings. 

Puddles are still a big hit with the boys.  They don't want to jump into them anymore, they went to ride their bikes through them.

Micah has become very concerned about the welfare of the bugs in our yard.  He wants to make sure they have a nice home with lots of food to eat.  He has built a worm house on the back of the basketball hoop. It is complete with a slide and the flower is a flag to let his friends know that he is home.  He has also made homes for other bugs.  He turns over all of our stones in our walkway looking for bugs to put in his bug homes. I have to remind him that bugs stay outside.  He did try to smuggle about 10 rollie-pollie bugs inside his backpack to take to school.  He was sure that his teachers wanted to see them.  When he grows up he wants to be a "bug inspector".
