Three Cheers for Global Warming

OK, fine. Today's nice weather is well within the range of seasonal variation for New England. But after a chilly week or two, it was nice to get a chance to go to the park with SteelyKid, who definitely enjoyed it:

Of course, after a bunch of swinging, sometimes you just need to sit quietly and contemplate an acorn:

And then go home for a nice bottle and a nap.

Sadly, Daddy isn't allowed to take a nap, but has to try to take advantage of SteelyKid's napping to get some work done before the Giants game. No matter how much he would like to doze on the couch for a while...

Ooh! She graduated to big kid shoes. I got same ones in beige for my boy last month. (I noticed those since I bought Dino shoes months ago inspired by Steelykid).

What? She sat and contemplated an acorn *without trying to eat it?* Are you sure she's OK?

The trying to eat the acorn came later, no worries.
