The first day Spring is here as of 1:30 p.m. today. The kids got a nice week of wonderful weather welcoming in the signs of Spring. Days filled with the mid sixty temperatures and tons of cloudless sunshine. The Spring flowers trying to pop up through the dirt in the warm spots we have in the back yard. Last year I was shoveling snow onto them to keep them under a bit longer in order to prevent them from freezing before they had a chance to bloom. No chance of doing that now, the snow has been gone for days.
Bundling them up in warm coats before school trying to decide which coat to put them in. The Winter down will be too heavy by noon, but the light weight fleece to cold for the crisp morning. Heading out to the car with sunglasses on ready to start our day.
Picking up the kids from school isn't so bad this time of year. You can actually roll down the window's while waiting patiently in line for the little ones to run out excited to see you. Dragging their Winter jackets on the ground behind them and removing any unnecessary articles of clothing they don't need. My Son cannot remove his socks fast enough. "Roll down the windows Mom I'm sweaty!" windows get rolled down and we are all in route to the waiting peanut butter and jelly picnic outside at home.
The once cold driveway and back yard is instantly filled with neighbor hood kids, scooters, bikes and hula hoops. Kids running in and out, chasing one another while in haling the fresh air all Mom's want them to get tons of because they swear it makes them fall to sleep faster at bedtime.
What a tease! We get a week of beautiful weather so warm in fact that we had to cancel our last ski trip up North due to rain and lack of snow. Being very disappointed but happy to get a week of the taste of Spring.
Weather report this morning; forty, rain, some snow and slippery roads. She isn't here yet ;)
Happy First Day of Spring!!
