Yesterday it was a "balmy" 43 degrees, so we headed outside for a walk. Thankfully it WAS amazingly sunny. Isn't it crazy what simple sunlight can do for the soul? Ummmmmmm. Love it. Someday I want a house that faces South, though...I feel like we get short-changed on some of the sunlight that all of our neighbors across the street get.

| Layla is the BEST to go on walks with. She finds all my suggestions fun AND is totally obedient/knows the rules of the road or the rules of walks (i.e. do NOT run into the street randomly, etc.) |
 |
| Finding our first puddle of the walk in our driveway... |
 |
| Guess who is NOT so great to take on walks??? Mr. Sneaky, Mr. Almost-2, Mr. Danger Man Finn. |
 |
| Classic example: They both love to run down the driveway hill. Layla stops at the end of the sidewalk. Finn would run directly into the street. He induces more shouting than I would like in a quiet neighborhood. Grrrrrrrrr. :) |
 |
| Another classic: Layla ran RIGHT into that puddle, despite her hatred of getting any "wet" on her clothes, but Finn just stands at the edge and waits for her and her frantic jumping to get out of it before he slowly, carefully ventures in. Smart kid. |
 |
| Yes, we DO own 3 pair of rain boots, but sadly I couldn't match any of the pair at the start of this walk. So puffy snow boots it was! |
 |
| He has just figured out his pockets. :) |
 |
| Layla wanted to hold hands. Finn tolerated it. :) |
 |
| Doing Layla's version of "Ring around the rosey." |
 |
| This is, again, classic. Layla does about 20 circles around Finn, stomping like crazy, while he stands still in the middle, hands in pockets, trying to not get wet. :) |
 |
| She was getting ready for a BIG jump here...I got Finn out of danger. |
