sunshine and rainbows

Isn't it funny how some things are relative? Like a warm, sunshine day. In March, we're thrilled for a 50* day (without the Idaho wind), but come September we'll be fleeing indoors when the temperature drops. We got a taste of Spring last weekend with our 50* day and loved every moment of it. I dropped Kashton off with my mom (50* as relatively warm as it is... is still too chilly for my 6 week old!) while Jackobi and I headed to soak up some of those glorious rays & play outdoors.

We became re-acquainted with some of our favorite toys very quickly. We swung high, crawled through tunnels and searched for treasures. Pinecones & silly shaped rocks topped this list of favorites.



It was a grand Saturday outing. We smelled Spring and the fresh air gave us both a shot of energy and life. (we've been getting the Winter blues in our house and were in much NEED of some sunshine!!)

Since then, we have had nasty, rainy days. It seems like Mother Nature played a cruel little joke on us as now, even more than before, we're longing for SPRING to come (and STAY!) Being back in hibernation I've had to get some creative juices flowing to keep both of us entertained and happy since the wind is howling outside!

To celebrate St. Patrick's day we made some rainbow cupcakes. They were SO FUN and tasted pretty yummy too. Best part ... they were SUPER easy and Jackobi loved picking and layering the colors.

Frosting and decorating her rainbow goodness was an even bigger hit than baking the cupcakes.

I guess this is what you get when your sous chef is a three year old.
a massive mound of colored sugar & sprinkles.
I must admit ... it DID taste pretty good.

She was pretty pleased with the final product. The rainbow was pretty delightful when you broke the cupcake open.

it felt like a pretty lucky st. patricks day.
here's hoping for more spring to come ...
indoor or out.
