Oh Spring.... where are you????

Spring is veeeery slooooowly springing again this year. Last year, we had a very wet, cold, gray spring, (and a really really short summer)and this spring has been much of the same. I'm so tired of it! Even the kids are just desperate to get outside! Jadon told me today on the way home from preschool "I dont like the rain." So, we've been trying to go for walks after dinner in the evenings when its not raining, and anytime its sunny I throw the kids outside.... Ok, I dont really have to throw them out there... they pretty much rip down the door trying to get out! ;) On days where we've been lucky enough to have a dry, sunny day, its still been pretty cold out (still requiring a jacket.) But just feeling the sun on us does wonders for our moods and energy levels! Today is one of those rare sunny days! We are going to be going outside in just a bit, and I CANT WAIT to feel the sun on me again! After today, the forecast is rain for the rest of the week. Bleh!

See, the plants and trees are starting to show signs of life

This was a couple days ago, a chilly, windy, overcast day... the kids were still thrilled to be outside, they didnt seem to notice the chilliness. My little tomboy

My big guy

At Home Depot a week or so ago... there was a forklift in the aisle next to us, and the kids were fascinated.

He's so photogenic... and he's been letting me take his picture again (yay!!) in fact, he's actually been asking for me to take his picture! Can you believe my little 5lb 6oz baby boy is 4 years old already????

The kids have their well-child checkups next week. Im eager to see how much they've grown! I think they are both just coming out of a growth spurt. I had to buy them both some new PJ's a couple weeks ago because they both outgrew theirs. I got Avery size 24 months, and she fits just fine it in. And I had to buy her some shirts because suddenly her shirts were all short.

And Jadon doesnt fit in 3T shirts anymore... they are like belly shirts on him. So I had to buy him some more 4T shirts, and I even bought him 5T PJ's!!!! After 5T, he'll be in the boys section, and that almost makes me cry.

We were healthy for a whole 2 weeks, possibly even 3 weeks, (It was wooooonderful!!!) but now Jadon and Avery both came down with colds. So, here we go again. :(
