April 10, 2014

The weather is warmer. Bikes come out. Muck boots replace snow ones. The layers slowly make their way inside to a big heap by the door the longer the hours go by. Before I know it, this brown and dull and muddy will be bright and blue and everything luscious and life breathing green. I love how spring appears to take me by surprise. I know one day soon I will look out the window to check my adventurers on the their 'nature walk' in the woods only to be shielded by buds and leaves too thick to see past. And I'll wonder, when did that happen!? 

For now we're finishing up loose ends in school, always thankful this time of year we made the push all winter long to close shop just as soon as things begin to melt and change.

A part of me likes to hold onto winter. I really love the cold and I don't mind the snow. Part of me longs for sun, something new, flower gardens, dirt and dirty kids, and deliciously fresh vegetables! I long for a tomato to taste like... a tomato! 

But I know tomorrow may never come. I know this is the day that The Lord has made, so I want to rejoice and be glad in it.

What spring (so far) has looked like around here:


Liam drew me when I was a little baby. Look how happy, chubby, and cute I was!

Burning the midnight oil. Easter bow-ties for my boys= a labor of love.

Today: Emperor Palpatine and I have NO idea who? I'm still everything pupil when it comes to Star Wars!

The kids and I are making an herb garden to transfer to...the deck,  just beyond that glass! For now, I can handle that kind of gardening! Lemuel-proofing them has completely slipped my mind, though we've only had 2 accidents. That babe is ready to eat some dirt!
