We do get to play outside each day anyway, but now they seem to crave more nature. Today was a nice cool morning and we set off with mommy in the middle. Brenden likes to be the leader and direct us which way to go. Addysen still likes to hold my hand and needs my legs to hide behind from cars. Garhett only lags behind because he is interested in everything. He likes to watch the birds fly, and he will watch an airplane until he can no longer see it. G-man also likes to pick up rocks and sticks, and to pull leaves off trees. Walks with the little people can at times feel like herding cattle. I particularly hate when they get too far apart. You never know when one of them will get a wild hair and run straight into the street. I don't usually have to worry about Addy, just those twin boys. Getting outside is so important, and they have a lot of fun. Today Addysen found a roly poly and showed it to her brothers. Garhett was immediately interested. He picked it up and laughed when it turned into a ball. We watched the roly poly for a few minutes until I couldn't find it anymore. I asked Garhett where the roly poly had gone and he said, "hole." He was also gesturing towards the sewer drain, so I guessed that he had dropped it in there. Unfortunately, the roly poly had an early exit from this world. In the end, Garhett and Addysen were able to bounce back from the tragedy the roly poly suffered and we made it back home.

Going For a Walk
Now that our boys know how to open the front door (they can unlock it as well, so save that piece of advice) they seem to be outside more and more. They are not shy, as they have been out front with only their diapers on. Hopefully soon that will be underwear! As soon as that screen door opens they run as if they are escaping from prison. Both boys shoot out the door and up the sidewalk, usually in the direction of our neighbor to the East, I think it is because they enjoy teasing his dog. Due to our new set of circumstances I am now making a point to getting out each morning and take them on a walk.
