Yay for beautiful weather!!!

It is so nice to finally see signs of Spring! The weather has been gorgeous (mid 70's), everything is starting to bloom, and I even had to mow the lawn yesterday!!! I am not a fan of cold weather and am not a bit sad to say goodbye to dreary, cold days!

Homeschooling on such beautiful days is a challenge for both me and the kids. Who wants to be stuck in the school room when you could be enjoying the sun? But, you do what you have to do.....just a little quicker:) So, we managed to get started with our school work a bit earlier yesterday so that we would have the afternoon to play outside. We finished up by 1 and were outside by 1:30. My mom was watching my nephew so she brought him over to play for awhile. The kids next door and across the street came over to play, and then two friends of mine brought their kids over as well. There were kids everywhere.....riding bikes and scooters, climbing trees, playing Star Wars, and even catching wildlife:) The kids found a baby bunny under our picnic table. I'm sure it was scared to death with 15+ kids hovering around it, but they managed to pick it up and pet it. Of course, being paranoid, I immediately went for the hand sanitizer! But, it WAS too irresistible to not pet!
Anyway, it was a fun day for the kids and their friends and nice for me to be able to sit out on the grass in a lawn chair and catch up with my friends!
