Happy Spring!!

I haven't blogged lately because we've been really sick around here. Every single one of us has had a nasty and lingering cold. All the girls have had ear aches, fevers and barking coughs. (Not very fun stuff to blog about!) We've been really tired. But although we're all still recovering, we can't help but acknowledge the beautiful warm weather we've been having and the spring fever we've been feeling!!

Today, the girls and I did some fun planting. For our back porch, we planted some thyme and some geraniums just for this super cute gnome and mushrooms to hang out in! We love it!

One of our favorite songs has been ringing through my ears:


Spring is coming spring is coming
Birdies build your nest!
Weave together straw and feather
Doing each your best.

Spring is coming spring is coming
Flowers are coming too.
Pansies, lilies, daffodilies
Now are coming through!

Spring is coming spring is coming
All around is fair
Shimmer, glimmer on the meadow
Joy is everywhere!







On our patio, we planted some impatiens in the shade. The girls were so capable. We planted while listening to Cat Stevens. It was really fun and we're excited to make our yard prettier.

I have some more blog catching up to do-- We had a really nice St. Patrick's day and Lala and Bella had their parade and play at the Armory last night. Hopefully, soon!
