beautiful, glorious, warm sunshine!
It peeked out at us several days ago for little bits of time, reminding us that cold, horrid, freezing winter won't last forever. Since then, it has shone itself more and more, slowly thawing the Earth and souls, bringing things to life. We've had brilliant blue skies, and bright green grass shoots poking out of the ground, and extremely active children bursting forth for outdoor recesses, and in just sweaters instead of thick snow coats ... it's been wonderful!
It's supposed to start raining again. Rain is a good thing, we can use it, we're grateful, and at least it's NOT supposed to snow here, it's just that it's been SO nice to not be in foggy, misty, clouds or in pouring rain for awhile.
in other news (which I'm way behind on recording) ...
Happy birthday Michael, we played musical bedrooms again, Jacob did a good job on his oral book report about chimpanzees, Jessica and her friend are working on their Science Fair project (eat junky breakfasts for one week and record how they do and then eat healthy breakfasts for a week and record how they do - Jacob is very happy with their project because I actually bought donuts and Trix - by the way, certain boxes of Trix and other cereals gets you free movie tickets), Nathan's spring sports are starting up, Jess and Jacob's winter sports are in full swing, Michael started volunteering at the preschool (it is so sweet watching this gentle giant working with those tiny kids), I fell a few more times - no actual breaks and no really bad sprains, just a lot of making a fool of myself - I have the worst ankles/feet. There's lots more, but we all have homework we need to get to ...

this is just so typical of these BOUNCY little boys
Jacob told me that he planned it out with his friend to hold his head like this for their goofy picture
(inspired by his cousins' picture)
