These two kiddos LOVE to be outside. Last week when it got chilly we went to the park to feed the ducks and then play. Kolbe is getting so brave lately. He climbed pretty high on the rockwall. When you push him on the swing he screams "Higher, higher!" In the past he has always been very cautious swinging, "Not too high, I might fall out."
Libby's favorite thing to do at the park, slide.
Kolbe's first time swinging on the big boy swing. They are pretty high off the ground to begin with. Usually when he has wanted me to lift him into these swings, as soon as I do he wants to get down. This time he even wanted me to push him high on the big boy swing. He usually goes on the baby bucket-type swing, or the little tykes baby swing (for up to 3 year olds.)

Libby is on the run. Whenever we are outside and I say it is time to go back in, she takes off running the other direction. Yesterday when I gave notice, she ran to her kiddie car, jumped in and tried to take off. Of course she can only go backwards in it and doesn't get too far too quickly. ;)I think Kolbe is really starting to get excited about Dad coming home. He has been so happy recently. I noticed a huge change in personality last time when Jeff was due home for his leave. Kolbe was just giddy when Jeff got here. That is not his usual demeanor by any means. Don't get me wrong, Kolbe is a very content and happy little boy, but he definitely has become more outwardly happy the closer we get to Dad's arrival back home.
