Waiting

I am waiting for Spring Fever to hit me. I haven't felt too much like digging in the dirt yet and the dull grayness of the days is getting to me. I enjoyed having the kids home for Spring Break.We did some fun projects and watched a lot of college basketball. I guess it's a bit quiet now that they are back to school.I promised each of them I would make a lunch bag to carry to school as the ones they have now are falling to pieces. I'll post pictures when I finish. Here's a little pick me up, crocuses bursting forth.

10 things

I've decided to take a cue from one of my favorite blogs, "soulemama" and list 10 things that make me happy to take the edge off of the February blues.

1. baking fresh bread.
2. my two February birthday boys.
3. hearing my children play the piano.
4. looking at a brand new magazine.
5. new stationary.
6. rubbing Lucy's ears.
7. Pete's warm feet on my icy ones under the covers.
8. clean sheets.
9. Sophie's smile.
10. SUNSHINE!
