Spring is finally here! I can’t wait to play outside, errr I mean send the kids to outside to play.

While the kids did spend plenty of time outside sledding and building snowmen I spent all my time outside shoveling and while it is great exercise and it counts as “being outside“ it isn’t a lot of fun.

I am really looking forward to warm weather and not just because not only will the kids will get outside exercise but so will I. I don’t know about you but I am totally over winter! I know the kids are very tired of taking all their winter clothes to school every day and hauling them home every night, but about the time we left them at school, we would have a blizzard!

Now, with the sun melting the snow I am getting garden fever~ I can’t wait to get outside and dig in the dirt. Every time I step outside, I am looking for signs of tulips and daffodils.

The girls on the other hand are looking for signs that they can ride their bikes. I know they have missed riding their bikes, in fact, the other day when it was nice and sunny and warm I sent them outside to play in the snow and I found them riding their bikes (in their winter clothes). They were riding pretty good despite the snow pants and gloves.

They wanted more room then just the driveway to ride their bikes so they made a bike path across the front yard.  They used shovels and rakes to flatten out the snow but despite their best efforts, their bikes sank in the snow. I have to give them an “A” for effort.

My son isn’t all that interested in biking he is more interested in basketball. When it was really snowy, I caught him outside trying to dribble the basketball in the snow, which definitely did not work. The melting snow means he has a clear driveway to dribble his basketball so he is happy as a clam.

So what does spring mean for you?
