Scenes from maternity leave

The last few weeks of my maternity leave finally brought us some lovely spring weather. The kids and I took advantage of every minute of it, spending tons of time playing outside and dining al fresco. The days that the weather didn't cooperate, we had to do at least one activity a day--usually an art or baking project, with bath time as an emergency backup--in order to maintain everyone's sanity.















Drivin'

One day recently Nathan left the dune racer unattended in the yard, and Natalir decided for the first time that she wanted to drive it herself. Considering that she is two, she did a pretty good job. I helped her with the steering so that we could avoid collisions with trees and the house. Nat's already got quite the lead foot! :)
