Spring Fever!

Today I have been awakened people! Awakened to what I have been missing! What I used to have, but forgot about. I knew there was something missing, but I've just been too busy chasing Austin, helping Ellie, and cuddling Annie to realize what it was...

MY BACKYARD!

No, it didn't disappear, I just forgot how wonderful it is! After a long, cold winter and spring, I had forgotten how incredible it is to SEND THEM OUTSIDE!!!

So today, we're home ALL DAY LONG. Which I was looking quite forward too, since I knew the weather was going to be nice. All three kiddos played outside this morning, for HOURS. Then Austin crashed for 3 more HOURS, and now he's back outside again!

Oh the JOY! The FREEDOM! I had forgotten how much I depended on this backyard of mine last year, but now, NOW I remember! And I can see the light! The light of summertime salvation that is coming!

Now if I could just convince my husband to add that pool, I might never leave my house again!

Except for Starbucks.
