Where Is Spring?!

We are struggling in our household just as much as probably everyone here in Michigan. We are tired of being  prisoners in our home. The kids want to escape to the outdoors to play on their swing set along with riding their bikes. I on the other hand I want to finish the "spring clean up" in our yard. Oh the joys of home ownership right? I honestly don't mind yard work. I love to garden and get our daughters involved.

I guess we cant forget the 2 days of spring that passed us like a blink of an eye. You better believe we got outside to enjoy the sunshine and 50 degree weather. Nothing like the 80 degree temps we were having this time last year.

Our oldest almost mastered riding a 2 wheeler. She is beyond excited! As so are we, because it's time to hand down the bike to her sister now and upgrade her bike.

Our youngest learned the outdoors is a ton of fun. Her new word is outside. Of course once she's outside and it's time to come inside, that's a challenge and she is not a happy camper. She's still learning her boundaries of the yard. I forgot how much exercise it can be with a 1 year old outside!

As for out Vivian, our little daredevil, she needs to get outside. Ha ha. She is one ball of energy that's for sure. During our 2 days of spring she learned how to jump of the swing. Yeah... I'm not too excited about that one. Ha ha. Or jump off the top of the slide. Lets pray we don't have a broken bone this summer.        
                                     
As for my husband and I, we were able to get most of the spring clean up done. I still have those lovely piles of yard waste and left over leaves that have been sitting now for a little over a week. Thanks to the rainy and windy week afterwards. The kind where if you use your umbrella the wind might pick you up or just break the umbrella. Then this weekend winter decided to make hopefully its last visit. We can still hope spring is around the corner...right?
