what a lovely spring day

Today was a beautiful day. We've had a string of nice days where the weather's been in the mid-seventies. Today we decided to go outside to enjoy the fresh air after our youngest, Brian, got up from his nap. We were out there for perhaps an hour. Brian had shoes on for the first time. I don't think he was that thrilled with them. We don't wear shoes in the house, so Brian hasn't worn shoes till now. Alex had his bubble-blowing puppy toy he was playing with out there, blowing bubbles everywhere. I brought out a tricycle we bought for him last year, when his legs were too short to reach the pedals. Now he can reach them, but he wanted to just walk the tricycle with his feet, instead of using the pedals. With the spring weather just starting, we'll have tons more days where it will be fit to go out and enjoy it as a family. We plan on taking full advantage of those days. Maybe one of these lovely days we'll have ourselves a little picnic there on the front lawn. When the breeze blows, you can hear the wind chimes from our neighbor's house. It's nice to listen to at night. Last night was a bit breezy so they were dinging away.
Tonight's dinner, which you'll see on my wife's blog as the recipe of the week, was cheesy stuffed shells. It's large pasta shells, stuffed with mashed potatoes, ham, and sweet corn. Then the shells are topped with cheese sauce. This recipe was given to us by Jeanne's friend Gen. She has contributed another recipe to our repertoire that will probably also make it to recipe of the week called Pepperoni chicken.
Now that the kids are in bed, it's time to see what there is to do. Take care everyone, and happy reading.
