Uh huh....

Do you ever find yourself agreeing with your preschooler because their rambling goes on and on and on.... so I'll say, "yeah, I hear you" and "yes, that's a good idea" or perhaps "uh huh" and honestly, I am NOT listening as I should. Well, today I did one of those agreeing commentaries then I had to wake up as Cole confirmed what I had just agreed to do:

"Yup, we're going to go home and you'll paint me green and make a shell for my back so I can hide and jump up and scare someone. That's a great idea mommy!"

ummmmm, REWIND!!

Springtime Flowers

Well, it was springtime for few days in our neck of the woods. The tulips are BEAUTIFUL (a first for us this year) and the trees looked like they were covered in "popcorn!" Unfortunately, as I write this post, it is snowy and cold, AGAIN. Honestly, a springtime rain is fine - but SNOW!?!?! No bike rides this week!



This is the joke of our trees - we planted these flowering pears a few years ago - ALL at the same time. If you want to know how much they've grown in 3+ years - just look at the 3rd tree - it hasn't changed AT ALL. It's our midget tree.... I guess he likes being just the way he is!
