Not so patient...

Around here, we've been waiting for spring to arrive.  And we're not being very patient anymore.  So yesterday, with the thermometer barely hitting 47 degrees (which actually is pretty warm), the kids took matters into their own hands....

"We're going outside mom, " Henry yelled as he and Anna headed out the door.

Oh, how I've been waiting 5 long months to hear that sentence!!

In spite of cold toes, Anna couldn't resist wearing her spring rain boots.

The kids also couldn't resist the huge puddle (or "lake" as they called it) in the front yard.

Spring fishing....

Wet clothes, slimey brown dead things, mud and puddles, soaked boots and socks.... Bring it on!  I'll take it all, if it means we're finally heading towards something warm and fresh and green.

    Cris - I love that you named the "lake" in your front yard! These pictures were actually at our house. This year, I don't think it would be safe to let the kids play in your yard. HUGE Lake Rellimiska! I think you could launch a boat! Ha!!
