We had a brief two day reprieve from the bitter cold and snow. The warmer weather made it seem almost impossible that we were doing this just two days before.....
We actually got to see the ground again! We broke out the tricycle for an hour or so and pretended like spring was really on the way. We tried to carry that spring feeling over to the next day by taking a stroll. Unfortunately the temps dropped so much that we only made it to the Stone Arch Bridge before we decided we were too cold to go on. So the miserably cold weather is back again.
Evangeline brought this paper home from preschool the other day. She said, "These are the things my mommy likes: summertime, bread- wheat bread, flowers, feeding the birds, and apple trees." (That's a little bird peeking out from behind the tree eating his bird seed, and that's Mommy by the tree wearing a dress.) Oh, I love how she sees me.
I went to the library the other day and stumbled upon this gem of a quote, "A Perfectly Kept House is the Sign of a Life Misspent". It was actually the title of a book by a woman named Mary Randolph Carter. My, oh my, this one really resonated with me....and I couldn't agree more, Mary!
As I lay down with Evangeline each night to tuck her in we usually chat for a bit about various things before I leave the room. Tonight she was so sleepy she said, "Can we just lay? My peepers can't stay open."
