Good times

One of my favorite new house features is that we no longer live on a giant incline {slash} mini mountain. Whichever term you prefer works for me. It was horrid. Our driveway was seriously a struggle...to walk down, to park (emergency brakes always had to be ON), and at the bottom of the driveway, there was street, no sidewalk. It made for some pretty lame sidewalk chalk parties.

Now, we love our flat driveway that leads to a sidewalk and we also enjoy that our street is pretty quiet (we are one of 3 families in the neighborhood right now). Every evening after the temperature has gone down and dinner has been eaten, we venture out to play.

We push our babies.

Pushing magnet animals...haha

This is about 30 seconds before she abandons the stroller.

 We draw on the driveway.

I have the most fun drawing...no one plays hop scotch yet.

We take wagon rides.



Spying out the window when my mom was visiting ;)

 We even walk our half mile loop with the dogs off their leashes.

Grace will run the entire half mile loop.
We cheer/talk about how tired she will be when done. ;)

Sometimes they do their "business" in the model home yard...picture not included. We pick it up, I swear...

So far we are loving our new digs and the extra time we are spending together outside. Grace is even going through a shoe phase where she always wants them on so that she is ready to go whenever the opportunity to get outdoors presents itself. She will literally wake up, be on the couch with her morning sippy and will get her shoes on before she has had breakfast. T-shirt, diaper, shoes...and homegirl is ready to get moving.

Oh...no shoe is off limits. Mommy's shoes, Daddy's shoes...if they go on her feet, then they "fit" and she is super proud to be in them. Fun times in toddlerhood.

Don't worry, we have crazy toddler times too...but that deserves a whole post of it's own!
