Enough already!

Even though it is only 13* outside, the kids were begging me to take them outside! So we all bundled up and ventured outside for a little bit. With the sun shining, it didn't feel that bad for about 30 minutes of play. I'm so ready to have winter over with though! The sun has been shining and melting the snow off a bit and it was even raining a little yesterday, but enough already! Madelyn has been asking about why the snow is going away. We have been trying to explain that spring is coming and God is going to wake all the animals and plants up again. I think she is still trying to figure that one out. It will easier as the leaves start budding. As you can see, the kids are also ready to get out and play with their outside toys. We could today because there is no snow or ice on the driveway today. It was kinda funny to put Madelyn's helmet on top of her hat, but if she's gonna ride her bike, I guess she needs both!


Here's Greyson in his car that he can't figure out how to push. He keeps getting his feet stuck under the car! But he does love to just sit in it and take the world in too.

Greyson loves to shovel the snow too. However, I guess it is just as fun to just push the shovel around too - seeing that there is no snow to shovel!

This morning Madelyn and I started some bell pepper, jalapeno, and delphinium seeds inside to plant in the garden when it gets warm enough. It will probably be another 12 weeks are so before we get put them in the ground, but hopefully this way they will have a good start. I have tomatoes and some other flowers to plant from seeds too. I probably wait a week or so and get those started.

Come on, Spring! We're ready for you!
