Spring has Sprung!


As we’ve all noticed, Spring is with us! The girls are loving playing outside in the sunshine and seem better for it. Biking seems to be the big project this year. At two, Super Girl is starting to pedal on a tricycle. Action Girl is able to take off and zoom on her two-wheeler with training wheels. Five is fun.

My dad made a really great soccer net for them (under-six size) and we’ve been playing with it quite a bit. We’ve also had the (kiddie) pool out as well. The girls are absolutely in love with dandelions (again this year). I’m not sure what that says about our flower beds, but dandelions are certainly low-maintenance perennials.

Rodents- we’ve got ‘em. So far the squirrels whose territory surrounds us have been joined what looks to be a rather large mouse living in the flower bed on the west side of the house. So far, we haven’t had a situation like our neighbors (three home invasions by squirrels last summer) or our cousin in St. Louis with his ongoing Racoon insurgency.

  1. Just don't smoke out any rodents! ha ha... There was an article on CNN about a guy who tried that with 'coons and his house, and set the place on fire.
