Ah, Spring!

I am absolutely loving warmer weather!  Noelle and I rode bikes and it was so nice to get around quickly.  We walked a lot over the winter and that works but bikes are so much better :-)  For dinner we had grilled chicken, baked potatoes, and Broccoli Normandy.  Kirk and I even had ours on the deck which I spent most of Saturday putting back in order.  I love a simple life!

Our Saturday

Its a beautiful day out today! About 70 degrees and sunny with a breeze. It feels so good to be outside again, especially since they are calling for rain the next two days.

Kirk and the kids did yard work and I gave Owen a bath which is always a challenge. I like to clean him up using a kiddie pool and the hose because he is too big to get into my claw foot tub and then out again all wet. Then I took him for a walk and then back home to trim his toenails. As you can imagine I don't do this any more than I have to ;)

Well, off to enjoy the fresh air some more. Have a great day!

A crocus finally bloomed in my yard!

Spring Weather

Well I didn't get any yarn but it didn't rain either, beautiful sunshine and 69 degrees. I don't have any summer clothes right now so it better not get any hotter, lol. Back outside to enjoy it.

Yard Work

There is a lot to be done in the spring to get things in order outside. Raking rocks back into the driveway, they were shoveled into the grass with the snow, and raking the dogs "litter" over the creek bank. As if you needed to know this ;)

Well, we are preparing for Noelle's birthday party, wiener roast with all the fixings, this Saturday. The whole family is looking forward to it. Nothing like hot dogs roasted over an open fire. Our number one prayer request is for no rain and temperatures in the high 50s or low 60s.

The nicer weather also brings the neighborhood kids around our house. Yard work is a good excuse for keeping an eye on things though.

Spring

ITS HERE!!!!!

Okay, you can go back to your lives now..........

Spring Cleaning

We live in a small two-story house with many small rooms and are coming to a time in life where the rooms' uses need to be re-purposed. Noelle's bedroom is actually the size of a nice walk-in closet (worked great as a nursery) and she ended up with it being the youngest. She turns 11 on the 31st and needs room to spread out, as apposed to spilling out into the hallway, lol. Kirk and I will reclaim the downstairs master bedroom (now our multi-purpose room) so she can have our bedroom upstairs (much more space) and her room will become the mutli-purpose room.

Well, I started the process of going through all of our "stuff" in the multi-purpose room yesterday (need to downsize it or redistribute it throughout the rest of the house). Wow! I filled an entire garbage bag (30 gallon) to bursting and I'm only half way through the room. I guess the cleaning was overdue, lol (amazing how much paperwork is accumulated from homeschooling).

All of this is a good thing because I developed allergies about 2 years ago and realize that I need to raise my standards in cleaning around here. Well, I've begun and it feels so good!

My Hyacinth

I bought a Hyacinth and my whole kitchen smells great! I think its the reason for my longing for Spring, lol.

Spring

I'm so ready for all things green (and yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, etc.) and sunny skies! My daffodils are poking through the soil so I know Spring is coming. I'm certainly not ready for summery weather so I'm hoping Spring actually stays Spring (50-60 degrees). Need time to walk off the winter poundage before shorts and bathing suit weather ;)
