fun in the sun!

Wow, it was warm today! The sun was shining, so Nancy and Anne came over to play. We walked down to the park for a picnic, then walked to Rite-Aid for some much-needed frozen treats, and then we played in the sandbox and the sprinkler until well past naptime! :)

Wa-hoo!!

little lady's almost better

 . . . and we'll be retiring Arthur, as well as The Backyardigans, for the next year or so.

rainy

I've got a sick little girl sleeping upstairs, and downstairs, a basement that is filling up with water too fast for me to keep up. Ah, what a day. I do love the rain, though. :)

signs of spring

Hi there! Today is chilly but oh so sunny, so Annie and I spent a good part of the afternoon outside playing and cleaning up the yard. I noticed some pretty happy things going on back there . . . 

 willow bush buds!

chives!

daffodils and crocuses!

tulips!

more daffodils!

Here's to more sunny days ahead!

Oh, and this isn't really related, but check out these two cuties playing piano together and singing on Sunday night . . .

(that's right; we still haven't gotten rid of the piano smack dab in the middle of the kitchen :) )
