the flowers are coming up and the indigo girls have a new CD so its a good day!

its early but...

.... its party central here in sick bay. Happy Birthday Bee!! (poor bee has a fever of 102.5 all day and we just called all her friends parents to cancel her party for tomorrow) :(

here is our little Bee at O, 1, 2, 3 and now 4!!!

Happy St Pattys day

are you wearing your green?

I woke up this morning thinking, wow 4 years ago my water broke with Bee!!! (That she wasnt born till the 19th is another story). It was 4 years ago bush gave his war speech. actually my water broke during bush' speech. I am always reminded poignantly of this war on Bee's birthday because they happened together. this was one of the first images of the war I saw as a new mother, and it still haunts me.

Alice the camel

Alice the camel has 5 bumps... Do you know that song? its going in my mind. I cut out of work early yesterday and took the kids to the zoo, since the weather was awesome. We saw such a friendly camel, that seemed to really like Bee and Franks. Bee sang her the Alice song, and frankie kept screaming "No humps!" I kept showing her the two humps on the camel.

well it was 53 yesterday and going up to 62 today. the snow piles in the parking lot at school are now down to about 4 feet. Im hoping for some major melt today because its going to turn colder tomorrow. Scott doesnt realize this but if I win the wager, i get a free trip to the movies!

the treasures of spring

so its been in the upper 40s for two days straight, and just beautiful outside. Yesterday bee rode her bike around the block and frankie walked the whole way! the snow in our front yard is gone, and when we were sitting on the front porch blowing bubbles (it was warm enough to sit on the front porch!) we saw that the flowers in the front were starting to peak through the soil! In the back yard, where the snow is taking longer to melt because of the shade from the house, you can see lots of patches of grass coming through. We went to play in the background... but had to postpone that play while we cleaned up about 200 hundred treasures deposited by the dogs that were once hidden by the snow but now also peaking through the melt.

first shorts siting...

its 45 here today and gorgeous sunny. The high school boy who lives down the street is hanging outside in his shorts! It does feel really warm though. Its always funny how after the winter the 40s can feel like a major heat wave!! Melt snow melt! I want to win that wager...
