spring

sun. beautiful warm sun

a glimpse of bright green grass

allergies

new life, pushing up through dark rich soil

flip flops

the ringing sound of the ice cream truck

the appearance of little creatures, apparently including snakes

the crying of little boys who don't want to come inside

open windows

short sleeve shirts

the smell of good clean dirt

a tall glass of raspberry lemonade

the end of winter

so why, then, did i wake up this morning to this?!

 

over six inches of snow?! i hate to think of what summer has in store for us!

what does this first day of spring look like at your house?

thankful thursday

today i'm thankful for the amazingly wonderful picnic the kids and i went to earlier this week. because of spring break we didn't have ladies' life groups at the church on tuesday morning. so instead we met at the park for a picnic playdate. it turned out to be more of a potluck, as everyone brought food to share. from subway sandwiches, brownies, chips, grapes, goldfish, and apples, to cookies, PB&Js, juice boxes, crackers, bananas, twinkies, and cheese singles, we had a FANTASTIC lunch! and one super smart mom even brought wet wipes for the whole crew!

it was a gorgeous 82 degree day. all the kids had a blast on the playground, and i'm sure they all had equally as good naps!

being the wonderful mom that i am, i totally forgot to take pictures of my own kids. but for those of you who want to look at pictures of people you may not even know, click here!


what are you thankful for today?
