Spring has sprung...or at least we're being teased a little here and there. It's got to be here soon enough, so I thought I why not think spring and then maybe it will turn into spring.

Spring brings many things...
1. a "pond" in our backyard
2. rain = mud
3. dog poop in the grass from all winter long
4. wind like you've never heard (because we don't have trees at our house or anywhere near by)
5. sand/dirt in the house

I can't wait to get outside to do the yard work and oh, did I forget to mention buy new shutters (that the wind blew off) and paint them? Yay, I can't wait (can you hear the sarcasm?) Yes, spring is great! Don't you think so?

On a side note. Saturday we had the girls birthday party. After contemplating IF we were going to have one or not, I finally got my act together and decided they deserved one, since we've never really had a big party for them before and Ally gets one every year. They wanted a "princess party" but I have a hard time doing all girly girl parties when half the guests are boys. So instead of a "princess party" we did more a "royalty party." There was dancing at the royal ball, castle cake and ice cream eating on "fine china," castle building with sugar cubes, and a hunt for dragon eggs. It was fun and the girls had a great time! Of course their favorite part was the
presents! Thank you to everyone who came to help celebrate the lives of our four year olds!
