Our attempts at Spring

We are sick of snow, wind, cold, etc.  We want spring and we will claim it how ever we have to.  Jump rope in the living room, scooter in the basement, bubble blowing in winter coat and hat...come on mother nature, this is getting ridiculous.  Can't you just send us a 50 degree or warmer day with sunshine and no rain to make us smile?

 William is improving on his arm and feet coordination needed to jump rope and has made 11 in a row with out having to jump then step over.  He was pretty proud of himself!

My first flowers popping out of the ground just to get snow on them, poor things.

William and Nurphy shelaxing together.

Until a sound is heard, then duty calls and Nurphy must protect the house from evil invaders.

Gotta love the funny faces you capture from time to time.

Adam has been busy with work, he got called in the other night early for a bomb scare that turned out to be nothing as he suspected it would. Adam has taken to running outside since the sidewalks cleared and is keeping up with it, despite me shaking my head when he decides to go running in sleet.

I on the other hand, am on strict orders from my Mother not to run for 2 weeks.  I am on my fourth antibiotic to get rid of strep throat and managed to catch the flu bug at the same time.  I stayed home last Friday from work due to aches, fever and chills.  I still can't seem to regulate my body temperature very well, but am feeling less achy and more willing to eat.

William is enjoying two weeks of color week where they have to dress in the color of the day and bring something from home to share that is the color of the day.  Next week we have pink and purple coming up, not sure he has anything in his wardrobe those colors.

Wisdom from William:

William told me the other day he wants to be a Daddy when he grows up and then said "but I will have to find a nice Mommy", so I said "Yes you will, some day you will have to be very nice to girls, if you want to find a nice Mommy".

Will also told me today as we were shopping that he was "running out of patience, but could go to one more store".  I think he has picked up on me saying that in the mornings when he decides to drag his heels on getting ready and "doesn't want to make any choices".

Have a good week and pray for some warmer weather!
