Spring Bucket List 2015

It's spring, it's spring, it's glorious wonderful spring! 
It felt like winter would last forever (some days it still does). But the days are getting longer, the temperatures are getting warmer (slowly) and the birds are starting to sing. 
We seem to have made it through another winter!
Last year I discovered I have a love for bucket lists. Which makes complete since since I am a "list girl". If it's going to get done, it better be wrote down. We made and completed a summer, fall and Christmas bucket list. With spring here and so much to do what better way to celebrate than with another bucket list to help keep us on track?

Feel free to steal our list, or make your own and share it with us.

What are you most looking forward to doing this spring?

Yard Work, Oh The Joy

I spent yesterday doing yard work, lots and lots of yard work. From replanting bushes, weeding flower beds, mulching and everything in between.

A few random thoughts from my time outside yesterday...

1. You can not expect young children to help pick up rocks without them deciding to start a rock collection. Resulting in them wanting to keep half of the rocks. (We settled on 5).

2. Bugs always and forever will be gross.
3. Birds always want to build their nests in the most inconvenient places.
4. Even if you work out a lot, and consider yourself to be pretty strong "for a girl". Flinging 40 lb bags of dirt on your shoulder and carrying them across a large yard gets exhausting.
5. It really is the little things that make the girls giggle the hardest.

But, I got everything we needed to get done, done. 
And I even had some extra time to squeeze in some sunbathing time.

I don't know if it is spring or summer here in Missouri. But, I am loving it!
Have you been doing any yard work?

I love warm sunshine

I love spring! I love the warm sunshine, the fresh crisp air, and the fact that we no longer have to stay cooped up inside the house!

Today was our first spring outing to the park. Now, I will admit with it being in the upper 50's it was a little cooler than I had hoped it would be. But, that wasn't going to stop us!

We got dressed, packed a lunch and were ready to go. By the way I NEVER realized how long it take to pack a lunch for 3 people trying to avoid "convenience foods" and plastic bags. It took me 20 minutes, 9 Tupperware containers and a HUGE lunch box. There must be an easier way, or maybe I should have just made a simpler plan!

We met up with some of our friends from church. The mama's got to talk and the the kiddos got to play. We had a great time!

After running around for an hour we were ready to eat!

After lunch and a bit more play time we headed back home. So glad I got to enjoy some great company and the beautiful weather. We are SO looking forward to spring and more days at the park!

Get outside and soak up some sun if you are fortunate enough to have some!
