I nearly forgot to pick up my Market Day order today, and I completely forgot that this month's order included being entered into a drawing for a Razor scooter. So I was already a bit scattered when I walked into Reece's school's gym to pick up my purchases and completely bowled over when they told me I'd won the scooter! I can't say that I never win things, because during my childhood it seemed that every time my mom entered our names into something, I won one of the prizes (for instance, one time it was a spider plant - not very practical for a child, but I thought of it kind of like a pet). But my adult years have been much less successful. Of course, the scooter doesn't actually fit me and so was quickly given to Reece, but it still feels nice. And it gave us a good excuse to get the kids outside after dinner, since the weather was conducive to such activity. Here are some pictures of what I would call the true first signs of spring:
Greyson on his scooter, showing us how it's done
Reece trying the new one out.
The inevitable introduction of the squirt gun and aiming it at the youngest child (and then being told "We don't aim guns at people", which is really pretty unrealistic but we still say it).
The backyard after the snow melted. So that's where those bats went!
And not that this has anything to do with spring, but here is Dan's beard after 3 1/2 days at home with the kids on his own. We're all shocked by the amount of silver/gray/white (whatever you call it).
