Puddle Jumping and Other Spring Time Fun

This morning I was doing a little organizing in our storage space upstairs. I wanted to find some spring clothes for Jer to bring down for Lucy, some spring decorations and Lucy's Easter basket from last year. I brought the decorations and the Easter stuff downstairs and Lucy was very excited to play with the plastic eggs from last year. I let her dump them out and open them all. There were even a few hidden surprises that we didn't get to last year. In one egg there were some Cheerios, in another there were some bubbles and in one other very special egg there was a candy bracelet. Lucy has never had one before, so I told her it was a bracelet and let her put it on her wrist. I let her play with the eggs as I left the room to go put some of the other decorations around the house. A few minutes later I came back into the room and found the eggs abandoned and Lucy in the chair with one thing keeping her occupied. She looked up at me and said: "Mommy, I licked it. It's Candy!"

After we washed up and brushed teeth, we headed outside to be a part of this beautiful warm, sunny day. Our thermometer said it was 61 degrees as we headed out the door. We brought the eggs and the bubbles with us.

Then we headed out for a walk around the block. These past couple of weeks we take this little walk any chance we get. Today, we put on the blue rubber boots and went hunting for puddles!

Here's hoping the weather lasts and it doesn't snow again next week. In good old Minnesota, we take spring where we can get it!
