Spring is here!

Spring is here! It might not be everywhere, but it has certainly arrived, in my corner of the world. I’ve got the urge to skip; the trees are budding. My neighbor has gorgeous daffodils that tempt Sir Thousand Hands. I am learning how hard it is to teach a two year old that it is OK to pick the dandelions, but the neigbhor’s flowers are only for smelling.

STH has a book Worm Smells where the main character, worm, sniffs things and makes such astute comments as “Smells Nice!” That has become a household phrase. If you come in the house and supper is cooking, “Smells nice says worm!” If a nasty diaper is being changed, “Smells bad!”

We are going to try to make it to playgroup, today. I feel like such a yuppie saying that. However, it is so nice to get out of the house and tag team children, rather than being the only responsible one. I believe we are headed to the park. Hopefully, baby Mark cooperates and I can pull out my camera.

Thank God I don’t live in Minnesota, anymore.
