Kids need to expend energy

It's a fact.  Staying inside too much is not good for any kid AND they drive parents nuts when they do.  So anytime it's tolerable and the kids want to go outside....we say "go for it!"

The snow has just melted and it's soggy as it can get out there, but thankfully we have quite a bit of concrete for them to stay on.  Of course, they still manage to find mud, but can't help that.  Today, the big boys drew a track on the driveway and they decided to ride their bikes.  It's also finally warm enough for their daily jogs again.  They used to do them everyday and it REALLY helped with their irritation level, and therefore ours.  It's a quick jog, but it tires them enough they don't fight near as much.  :)
