Happiness is...

...beautiful weather and walking home from school.
On our walk home Owen asked Jack if he got a green card at school (in Jack's class you get a green card for good behavior and get to "cash them in" for a little prize when you collect 30).  Jack told him he did, and Owen said, "You are the smartest boy ever!" (Owen recently has been praising Jack a ton - it is SO cute! Within the last week he's also told Jack "I'm so proud of you!" and "Good job, Jack!" Adorable!)

I love when they hold hands.
Image
They kept making silly shadows on the ground and trying to stomp on each others shadows.
Image
The boys turned their jackets into airplanes and flew the rest of the way home.
Image
Owen must have exclaimed at least a dozen times, "This is the best day ever!"
We've all been going a little stir crazy in the cold weather.
It's been nice to get out of the house the past couple days...sunshine is good for the soul.

When it's 54 degrees in Reno...

...you high tail it as fast as you can to the park.  54 degrees is about 25 degrees warmer than its been for most of the past month.

We decided to ride our bikes to the park.  It was a lovely time.  The park was full of boys around the same ages as my little guys, and both boys made fast friends and had so much fun playing with their "friends."  As we were leaving Owen said, "Awww...I'm gonna miss that little fella." (Referring to the little boy he was playing with at the park.)  I'm seriously not sure where that kid comes up with the stuff that comes out of his mouth!

Just as we got back home, I realized that I had left my keys on a table at the park.  It was such a gorgeous day, it wasn't even so bad to have to go back and retrieve them.
