Can I?

My kids are so lazy. If given their choice they would never go outside, never do anything but skip from electronic screen to electronic screen. They sneak around to try and do this.  It's honestly really disheartening and totally my fault. I'm going to change it this year. I'm giving it everything I can.

A couple of weeks ago we had a big kid day where they were out of school and the boys were at daycare. I loaded them up (much to their dismay) and we went to the park in Parkville.  We rode bikes on the path. Like TWO miles. They complained the whole time. It was SO HARD and they were SO TIRED. I was very very frustrated but tried to take an air of exploration and tried to get them excited to just BE. I do think in time as long as I am persistent, I may succeed. At least partially.

Griffin didn't have a lot of confidence, but then just this week, we rode bikes to school 3 miles and he was much much more confident and even asked if we can do it again. PROGRESS PEOPLE.

Another day Mary Kate and I took the kids down to crown center to hang out at the fairy tale exhibit. It was super fun!

These next pics are from Sully and my's first visit to Deanna rose this year. He just loves the farm. But it's a long haul down there!

Learning to milk cows.

He rode this tractor for like 45 mins.

Then that day the kids got home and I forced their butts outdoors.

Mira is playing kid pitch softball this year. It's kinda painful, but I think it's a great experience. I love watching them play.
