Don’t you just love spring? (Yes, I know it has been spring for much of the country for at least a month now, but we are just getting it.  We have spring fever like you would not believe!)  We have graduated from jackets to sweatshirts, as we have not even had one 80 degree day yet – it’s in the 60’s this week still.  Although we are having copious amounts of dirt and mud tracked into the house, just getting outside with the fresh air and exploring feels so darn good. 

After Anya’s birthday party on Saturday, Kailan actually wanted to go outside.  This was quite shocking to me since he would usually rather become one with the couch and watch cartoons.  We went outside and Kai explored while I took some photos of our yard coming alive, finally.  My little man had to show me all the “treasures” he found and I made sure to document them for him.  He was much pleased.

 Taking a rest – getting fresh air is a lot of work!

These usually bloom in mid-April.

Anyone need some chives??  (note to self: pluck off the flowers this year before they seed EVERYWHERE)
