Goodbye Ice Rink and Teeth!!

We are finally FINALLY enjoying some warmer temps here in Minnesota.  We have had snow on the ground since late November and it will likely take awhile for all the snow to melt, but we did make it above freezing over the weekend which is a difference of more than 50-75 degrees from where we were a few weeks ago!  Finn was able to make his debut outside at the ice rink over the weekend.  He hasn't gone outside much at all this winter because it has just been too cold.  In past years, we have a day or two where it is slightly warmer, but that didn't happen this year.

Unfortunately, with warmer temps, this also means the end of the ice rink for this winter.  The rink was starting to melt quite a bit today when the temps were in the mid 30's and it may hit 50 degrees later this week.  The boys were sad about the ice rink since they have grown to really love skating this winter.  I did my best to remind them about all the other fun things we will get to do such as biking, soccer, baseball, basketball, etc...Although I am o.k. with saying goodbye to skating and all of its equipment for the summer, it looks like we may be skating a bit indoors since the boys really love it.  Luke was near tears at the sight of the puddles on the rink.

Our week has revolved around teeth.  While we are waiting on Finn's first teeth, Luke and Liam are busy losing teeth.  Luke has lost a total of four teeth including his top two and bottom two teeth.  Liam, on the other hand, has lost two on the bottom and one on the top.  He has a second one loose on the top so he will soon catch up with Luke.  Both of them already have two big teeth on the bottom and, although I am no expert, it looks like we may need some braces in the future.
