Kid chaos

 On Friday it was as warm outside as it was in the house, and everyone went a little crazy. Maren decided it was too hot outside and took her shirt off:

The snow is almost completely melted — it is only left where there were huge piles from shoveling, and where it is shaded all day. The temperatures are predicted to go up and down, but there are no more highs below freezing. So yay for real spring, which arrived just in time for the equinox.

Maren and Linden have been playing together much more. It is so much fun to see. One of their favourite games is hide and seek, and Linden really isn’t very good at hiding, but it doesn’t matter because they both laugh like they are really surprised to see each other when one finds the other. It’s also pretty fun to watch Linden count. The other day she was counting “21, 22, 29, 20, 21, 22, 29, 20, 21, 22, 29, 20…” and only stopped when she decided it had been long enough and it was time to find Maren. This was today, completely avoiding 20 and anything larger:

And here is one from the other day, capturing only about 1/10 of the actual chaos, because they toned it way down when they figured out I was taking a video:
