Yay for Spring!

This has been one long winter.  My kids were sick a gazillion times (although thankfully, I only once) and I feel like we have spent about 4 years playing in our basement.  I am running out of things to do with a blanket and am quite sick of eating Bear Paws and hot chocolate while watching Dora.  It really is amazing that more stay-at-home-moms don’t go crazy over the winter months.

We’ve cracked out the bike helmets, sidewalk chalk and capris.  Now all we have to do is wait in giddy anticipation for the thermometer to actually climb over the freezing point.  Our tulips are peeking out of the dirt and seem to be growing nicely despite the frequent frost and my kids are already crying for “just one more time” on the play equipment. 

I love spring.  Renewal, fresh flowers, and the perfect excuse to send the kids into the backyard for a few…  what more could a mom ask for?
