For the first time this year I feel like spring really is around the corner.
Today I turned off the heater and opened the doors and windows. Instead of a sweater, I put on a nice little tank with my jeans. No need to ask if I'm wearing any shoes.
The kids and I went to the park, we even drove there with the windows down. Lucy traveled without an enormous blanket for the first time. Rex was happy to leave his coat behind.
We flew a kite in the backyard, soaking up the sun. Otis ran around with his soccer ball, rolling in the (soon-to-be-green) grass.
When Nate gets home the kiddos will get out the bikes and ride around the driveway. They won't stop until I force them to.
Tonight I think we'll celebrate more than St. Patrick's Day. We'll still have corned beef and cabbage. The kids will still be dressed in green. But we'll also celebrate the first beautiful day in a long while.
We'll play outside. We'll blow bubbles. We'll throw a football. We'll look for frogs in the pond.
We'll all sleep well tonight, grateful for spring.
