Hello Kinda-Sorta Spring

I admit it.

I am, at times, a terrible mother who will not take her kids outside to play because it's too darn COLD!

I seem to be able to get bundled up and go out to play in the snow, but to go out in the damp foggy air right in my own front yard chills me to the bone! And my kids suffer for it.

Ok, the suffer part might be a bit of an exaggeration. In fact, spring is starting to tease us a bit here and on a very nice day I tried to get my kids to go outside and play. And do you know what they told me? Of all things? No, Mom, we'd rather stay inside.

Insane! Insane, I tell ya!!!

So I pulled out my secret weapon that I could likely lure my kids to all corners of the earth with.

Bubbles.

That's right, a little soap, water and glycerin and I have complete control over my children.










Jeesh, I never realized how flesh colored my house is.





The kids quadruple checked I got some pictures of the bubbles that landed on the plants.

Hmm. That brings back memories of The Gnome-Mobile.


I'm not sure I like the fact that you can see my back door from my front door...something to keep in mind if we ever buy another house.


This is Madie's favorite place to be in the front yard.

Probably because it's the only place in the front yard that has had any work done to it so far. Yay for grass we will probably have in the spring!











Ya, we definitely match the house. Weird.

Bring on the spring and the sun and the suntans so we're no longer those weird people down the street that match their house.
