Waiting for spring

We are waiting, not so patiently, for spring. Every day we put on our boots and romp around the yard to see if there is any improvement in the mud situation. So far, there is not.  In fact, as we wait for another predicted snow storm on the first day of spring we're doing our best to distract ourselves with indoor activities.  We celebrated Granddad's birthday, had our co-op's end of term exercises, got a big girl bed for a certain three almost four year old, had a "read by lantern" sleep over and have been studying the great artists, doing our own "Monet's water lilies".  We visit the farm where we get our milk and wait expectantly for the chance to meet the new babies. Come sweet spring, we're ready for you.
