So so so ready for spring

This is the time of year in North Carolina where we get warm days interspersed with cold days. Today the forecast is ridiculous (70!) yet the Sunday forecast calls for snow and sleet. I'm ready to fast forward to spring.

Yesterday it was 60 so I promised the boys we could play outside after school. They decided to play in the front yard so they could ride scooters and bikes. They were having such a good time that I decided to let them eat dinner outside.


It wasn't the healthiest dinner as I quickly grabbed a selection of fruit, cheese, and peanut butter crackers, but it was a welcome easy dinner after a long week. Of course, this adds another item to my to-do list: clean off the deck furniture. But it is a welcome chore as I look forward to dining outdoors in spring, summer, and fall.

One of the benefits to living down South away from family is the great weather. We have had flowers coming up in Charlotte and the grass is almost ready for the first Spring cutting! Now if only I can get up the motivation do more evening walks...hopefully the time change (this weekend I think) will provide more motivation.

It's so weird seeing pictures of the boys without you or Jon around. They look nothing like each other. Yet when I see pictures of them with either you or Jon, and can see how they each look like both of you. Amazing.

As for the spring thing? Bring it on!

That sounds like a VERY healthy dinner for the end of a busy week.

Mine's usually limited to ice cream and chardonnay :)
