Hint of Spring

Well it's not very pretty (yet) but today the weather was over 40 degrees so we jumped at the chance to get outside! While I was at a Young Women's activity this morning, Lance got the house ready for a showing we had in the afternoon and then came and met me at the church with the girls. And after cleaning up, we headed to the grocery store, picked up a few "picnic" items and then hit the park! We thoroughly enjoyed an extremely windy (but not the kind of windy that makes your face want to fall off) picnic and playtime at the park. I was so excited to let the girls play in the backyard while I was making dinner, something we haven't been able to do in a LONG LONG time (it feels like). They entertained themselves for quite some time slipping and sliding on the few remaining pieces of snow/ice in our backyard.

I am so jealous! We still have a LOT of snow. It has been warmer though and we are very anxious for the same weather.

Hope your house sells soon. I am so ready for spring. I want to let the kids play outside so bad.
