Outdoors...

It has been snot central around here the last few days as the little one has been slightly under the weather with a horrible runny nose and now a nice sounding cough. The weather outside however has been quite pleasant so the little one and I have been outside burning off some excess energy. I have discovered that the afternoon nap that I so need her to take becomes non exsistant unless she gets at least an hour of outdoor play in. To find an indoor activity that burns as much energy off  can be tough especially one that we haven't already done a million times since the weather has been so foul this winter.
Here are some pics of our outdoor fun. Excuse the picture quality these were all taken with my cel phone.  
Here is the little one romping through the bushes.


I splurged and bought her a balloon from the dollar store. Which she insisted that we walk around the block with. She did learn a tough lesson though, what happens to balloons when they come unattched from the string. Bye-bye balloon! It didn't seem to bother her she just waved to it as it departed from view!

The little one has quite the love of flowers. If she can get her hands on them her favorite thing is to smell them. Even with a super stuffed up nose she take a sniff.

At first sniff she realized she couldn't smell anything.

She inhaled even deeper!

She inhaled all the pollen right out of the flower!  I couldn't help but to laugh out loud, it probably didn't help that it stuck right to all of the stray snot ! Gross but cute all at the same time!
Happy Wednesday! Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers!

Laura please forgive me if I don't visit your site often but it's because you have a cuuuute kid. It's like watching MTV cribs and you envy what they have so you just turn off the TV.
