Spring has sprung!

Peyton and I have decided that the weather is absolutely perfect for playing outside. It has been in the 70s this week and just beautiful. I was surprised to see the blossoms on this pear tree we have out front. It seems to early to me, but I guess it is about that time.

I can't wait until both of our trees are in full bloom. It is my favorite time of the year.

Peyton found a stick to play with.

Peyton loves playing on the slide. Oh, notice his sweatshirt. It was actually really warm, but I think the transition to spring wear is difficult for him. He hates short sleeve shirts and tries to pull the sleeves down. When we were headed outside, he wanted to wear his winter coat and spider hat. I told him that it was warm outside and that he didn't need it. He didn't believe me, but would compromise on this sweatshirt instead.

This is one of Peyton's many faces. He is too funny!

Peyton would not look at the camera for the pictures, but did tell me "Momma, I play in dirt!" He is getting so big, so fast.

For whatever reason and from where he learned this I don't know, but Peyton pretends that everything is a gun. I really thought he would be too little for this concept, but he does it all the time with his chicken nuggets, pretzels, and anything else. I don't want him playing "guns", but I am not quite sure how to change this. I try not to bring to much attention to the behavior, hoping that if I don't make a big deal over it, he won't. Hmm...any ideas?
