The past week the weather has been unseasonably warm. Not that I'm complaining, I'm loving the extra time outside, but it's just not natural! It's mid/end of November and it's been in the 60's?! Well, of course we are trying to take advantage of it since I know that the snow is coming (in the forecast today actually!) Right by our place there is a caul de sac, which we have discovered is the perfect place for a Duder to ride his bike while Lucy gets to roam. He has a boundary that he knows he can't cross and this allows me to watch Lucy a bit more closely while Dude is occupied. I feel bad when I take the kids outside by myself at times because I feel like Dude is doing a lot of waiting around for Lu... but this way he can ride to his hearts content and I'm not worried that anything can happen to him. :)
We like to play games while in the caul de sac, like chase you (Lu loves chasing him on his bike), and then he tries to run over our shadows :) He's really into shadows now, so he finds it really fun. I'm glad that the kids can enjoy the simplicity of playing outside, not in front of a TV or gaming system, or something that has to entertain them. I think technology is a wonderful supplemental tool, but so often its taking the place of imagination... so I'm glad that the kids can utilize both :)
