Mother Nature has given us a wonderful gift – several days of sunshine and 60* temperatures! The boys have been on their bikes and scooters and sidewalk chalking and going for walks and spending more time outside than inside. It has been delightful!
On our walk yesterday as we were passing this house …
… Tommy said, “Look, Momma! A gingerbread man house!” Followed by Rusty asking, “I wonder if any gingerbread men live there?”
I’ve wondered that myself, son.
This morning, Billy let me know that he didn’t have any clean jeans, and then, in a totally Billy way, he said, “You know, Momma, it’s supposed to be a really hot day today.” Knowing my child, as I do, I immediately said, “No. You cannot wear shorts today. I folded your clean jeans last night …”
While Ricky was at piano lessons today, I took the other boys to the park for a quick visit.
On the way to the park, we passed “the haunted house”
And Tommy pointed out, matter of factly, “Momma! There’s the Whomping Willow!” (from the Harry Potter story)
At the park, the three boys happily ran off. Slides and rock walls and more slides. They were very happy.
I stayed at the van and made the littlest boy happy, too …
But you know it isn’t really spring yet. How do you know? The restroom at the park is still locked. Our park visit was cut short by an urgent need that sent us speeding home.
Come on, Spring! We are ready for you!
