The Backyard Girl

Now that the weather is consistently warm, we have been playing outside more. Meghan constantly wants to play in the backyard. We cleaned out her water table so she could play with her boats and water wheel. Also, it was St. Patrick's Day so Meghan wore her green shirt. Can you tell Meghan is a "Wee bit Irish"?

She also loves to swing. We are working on moving her to a "big girl" swing but she still loves her baby swing. Meghan gets a little sassy when her daddy stops pushing her to pull weeds in the lawn.

Spring Break

For spring break we headed to Missouri so Meghan could visit with her Grandma and Papa.

We didn't expect to have 9 inches of snow while we were there. It really only lasted Monday and Tuesday but we weren't prepared for it so we opted not to make a snowman. Meghan went out into the garage to watch Daddy brush the snow off the car. She lasted about two minutes and then decided it was too cold to be out.

However, the adults needed to get out of the house so we went to Going Bonkers. It is one of those indoor play places with the huge play structure. Meghan had no fear and was all the way to the top in no time. She even convinced Grandma to climb up there with her.

This is how Meghan plays Skee Ball. She cheated and still only got 5 tickets.

This might be the highlight of Meghan's trip. Frannie, Buster, and Abby are Grandma's cats. Meghan couldn't get enough of them. She chased them around and gave them a good squeeze when they would let her.

Crazy Girl

It is a little known secret that Meghan has no fear. The kid will climb and then attempt to jump off of anything. A couple weeks ago we were at a friends for a birthday party. There was a bounce house that you couldn't tear Meghan away from. She discovered that if you took a running start you could summersault down the slide.

Going down feet first wasn't enough fun so Meghan decided to log roll instead.

Finally we have some sunny weather. We were able to get out and take some walks in the evening. Little miss decided pulling the wagon was more fun than riding in it.
