This week we got to use the new rain boots & raincoats that the boys got for Christmas, as well as get out the rain cover for the stroller. While the winter here in North Carolina isn’t terribly cold, it has been fairly wet. They got new rain gear in preparation for outdoor play, as well as walking to & from school.
I have LOVED living around the block from Ted’s school because it forces us to get outside every day. Not only is it faster for us to walk than it would be to drive, we are a one car family. This is still a fairly new concept for us, since we have always had our own cars. But we sold Michael’s when we moved & he deployed, and when mine died last year, we replaced it with one that would fit our growing family.
The mildness of NC winters also has us prepping for spring already! Ted and I started our vegetable seeds (indoors) yesterday. We’ve got tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. This afternoon we’re working on building our raised bed in the backyard.
