Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the winter... well, at least not until mid-February. It just seems like the winters in Ohio last longer when you have 2 kids just itching to get outside. The change in seasons is a wonderful thing but try explaining that to a 7 and 4 year old, especially when their cousins live in south Florida and are in their pool every day.
But Spring is here and the apple blossoms are blooming and the neighbors emerge from hibernation and come out of their houses. Kids are riding their bikes and scooters and I even heard the ice cream truck.
Before we know it, the neighborhood pools will be open and the schools will be out for the summer. But let's just enjoy one season at a time. :)
