Spring is my favorite time of year,
notwithstanding seasonal allergies.
Everything seems to come alive,
including myself. I love the new
energy I feel when the warm
sun shines on my skin.
At last I feel the drive to exercise
and do some spring
cleaning.
I can't wait to get out
in the garden! :D
Travis and I both had no
idea about the time change last
Sunday and showed up
to church an hour late.
(we have 8:30am service
so you won't hear
us complain ;)
The kids in nursery
that morning were so grumpy
having missed that hour of sleep.
One boy stood in the corner
for the entire 2 hours like a kid
on time out, with his head
down the entire time.
We tried songs, toys, and
everything we could to
coax him away.
He even
threw the cookies we
offered on the ground, and
refused to budge from
his corner.
It made me think of this
cute vintage picture from a book
by Bessie Pease Gutmann
Another boy in nursery had a
major meltdown and
told us we were
all stupid and he
didn't like any of us! haha
After he tried kicking
the nursery leader several
times, they realized how
critical that extra hour
of sleep is for kids.
The flowering plum and pear trees have
been in full bloom since February
here in California
and look like puffs of
cotton candy
all over the trees.
These pictures are from 2008 that I never got around to posting during Spring.
Isabelle is only 6 months old here.
Baila almost 4, Luke almost 6, and Lainey age 7.
