Spring is on its way!

Last week, since it was starting to get warmer out, I thought it was a great time for the whole family to get outside and get some fresh air. I took quite a few pictures, but the kids didn't want to sit still long enough.

There was little boots splashing in the puddles of melted snow, and even ice snowballs (made by the husband) hitting my back and being thrown into the back of my shirt.  Conner thought that daddy had the best idea in the world so he started throwing snow at my butt and putting snow down his sister's back. Boys!

 

Today I caught the spring cleaning bug and cleaned all my windows, swept the front porch, cleaned out the husbands garage, cleaned the BBQ (why am I doing my husbands chores?) and even went  through all the kids toys and clothes that they have outgrown or never use.  Guess tomorrow I'll be making a trip to the salvation army... I have two large garbage bags full of clothes and 1 large bag of toys. Also a large box full of old dvds and books that the kids have no interest in.

 

This weekend and next we are going to be busy... we'll be getting kids signed up for swimming lessons, and next weekend we will be visiting Toms friend (from work) and the kids will get a chance to learn where maple syrup is made and even get to tap their own tree. Sadie's the most excited because Tom mentioned to her that she even gets to ride a horse!
