The weather has been SO warm and sunny here this week, so we've been playing outside a lot.  I love springtime, and I think we're all ready to get out of the house!

 My brother came over one day to hang out, and he helped Luke paint his new birdhouse.  Luke is obsessed with birds, so we got two birdhouses for the yard, and he got to paint both of them.  He wants to check them everyday to see if there are any birds in them!

 And he wouldn't be Luke if he didn't get completely messy in the process of painting!

 And one of Luke's favorite outdoor activities---eating popsicles!  He had fallen down on the playground at church and scraped up his eye and nose.  Poor thing.

 I'm so glad that Luke still loves his sandbox!  

And little miss Cate loves being outside watching brother.  She's not a fan of the grass yet, but she liked sitting on the blanket playing with the flowers.
