...we were all chilling outdoors on patio furniture, soaking up the sun and basking in warm hot balmy temps. Not a flake of snow to be seen. Winter a long distant memory. Spring was here. Before it was officially supposed to be here. And believe me, around here, no one was complaining about that.
Let's refresh our memory, shall we....
Playing in the school yard during March Break...
Chalking on the driveway....
playing with cousins outdoors all day long....
Catching a $5 flick at the Princess Cinemas and afterwards NEEDING to go to the mall to buy sunglasses because it was that bright outside...
Yard work at night when Keith got home from work....cutting down those messy ornamental grasses...
Working on/building the marble maze for Max's grade three marble maze project...
Barefeet? Check! Shorts? Check!
This little leprechaun was outdoors all St. Patricks Day just like this...
It's a good thing we have pictures. Otherwise, it would be hard to prove that it actually happened. Especially when we look outdoors at the landscape this year at the same time. I'm so done with this winter. Above and beyond done. It just needs to be finished. I think that somehow I need to trick myself into believing that we're still in the middle of January. That way the weather is par for the course and spring will be arriving in a few months. For sure... that's what I think I need to do.
Last week, Max was home sick for....drum roll pleeeeeease......his third round of being sick with a high fever and headaches this winter. THIRD TIME. Which of course means, I am now teetering on the edge of coming down with something. It's the sympathetic side of me always coming out and not wanting him to feel singled out, I guess? So Wednesday to Friday last week he was home here. He is now on the mend and we are thankful and glad. But I am afraid....that if spring does not show her head around here soon....we could even get a fourth rounder in. knockonwood.
He spent lots of time reading...
and watching squirrels. A day earlier he had scattered some leftover birdseed in the backyard. Didn't take long for the squirrels to find it. It provided lots of entertainment throughout the day....All you can eat buffet for them!
Friday morning he was feeling good enough to eat pancakes for breakfast and some freshly squeezed OJ (Thanks for dropping by with the oranges grandma!)...."This is a breakfast for kings!" he declared.
Indeed.
Now if we could just get rid of this snow.
