You Capture: Outside

One of the benefits to being moderatly homeless is that we have been able to spend a lot of time outside enjoying the spring weather (by moderatley, I mean we have been boucing from family member to hotel to family member as we wait to get into our house).

Friday night we stayed with Uriah's parents.

The weather was beautiful on Saturay, so we planted flowers with Mimi. 

Abby thinks her bangs are "awesome." 

I can't get a good picture of her without them covering up her face.

 On Saturday night we stayed with Emily and Jerad. 

Abby helped Emily do some yard work (willingly) and climed the tree in their backyard.  After Finn went to bed, we had a fire and roasted marshamllows.

On Sunday we headed North to Okoboji, anticipating only one night in the hotel before we moved all of our stuff into our new house.  Unforunately, plans changed and we ended up needing to find a new place to live, so our time in the hotel was extended.  Needless to say, we spent a lot of time outside playing on the swing set (and some time inside playing in the pool, too!).  A hotel room, no matter how big, can get very small when 3 people are in there constantly.

On Tuesday, in order to kill some time, I suggested that we paint our nails outside.  It wasn't super warm, but the sun was bright enough and the wind wasn't too strong that we were able to stay outside for about an hour.  Finn kept himself occupied with sticks and rocks and occassionally playing with his toys.

Yesterday I loaded the kid into the car and we headed to my parent's house.  Laundry needed to be done in the worst way, and that hotel room was starting to wear on my nerves.  We should be in our house sometime next week and I'm pretty excited to start to feel normal again.  We haven't been together as a family for longer than 3 days at a time for the last 5 weeks.  I'm ready for family dinner and co-parenting and grocery shopping and sleeping in my own bed!
