Backyard Play

When couches are getting jumped on, and kitchen stools & surfaces are being climbed, I declare outside playtime. 

Today's outdoor play was confined to the backyard.  It involved fresh eggs from our chicken coop, making nests out of grass, lots of kite string, and mittened hands even though it's near eighty degrees.  Creative play at its finest. 

I'm thinking we've read a bit too much of Horton Hatches an Egg, as my boys requested that I take the following pictures.  Of course, they tried SITTING on the eggs, but that fared in cracked eggs.  Now equipped with plastic Easter eggs there are enough to go around so all three boys can have nests and sit on them to boot. 

Video games are so over-rated.
