Spring means so many things, days of relentless rain, teasingly warm days with the first seasons sunburns, longer days, and yes, of course then end of classes for the spring semester! Just as it gets harder to stay indoors I have no choice because I am into the final month of classes and have final projects, the regular material and finals to worry about. I want to start all kinds of new projects. I have ideas rolling out of my head for hair bows, some dresses I would love to make the girls, especially Thing One, her summer wardrobe is looking a little empty!
Yesterday was the first nice day since the downpours. We received 5 inches of rain in 2 days, we also live near a dam, so I figured it would make for a nice trip to drive up to the dam and see all that is flooded. Half the park was underwater, we couldn't even access the beach where the dam was due to all the flooding, but it did make for a nice long walk and some nice pictures!
We took time out today to grill outside for our lunch today, some hot dogs and hamburgers and followed it with a walk to Dunkin Dounuts for drinks and then to the playground. I will miss being able to walk to a Dunkin Donuts and a playground when we move out of here!
Tomorrow we plan to go to a local park for an Easter Egg hunt. I haven't told the kids, but I think they will really enjoy it a lot. I am happy to have kids that would much rather play outside than be cooped up in the house. They are more and more like me every day. I am sure they are more and more like their father too, but I really don't know what he did when he was a kid, I can only speak for myself. I guess I'll have to ask him.
See, there is still mystery! lol
So until next time know that my house will be a mess, and I won't be around because my nose will either be buried in school books, or I will be out enjoying the spring with my kids!
