Spring Fever!

Do you have it too?

Spring fever??

My snowmen decorations have been down for a while, the Valentine's stuff came down earlier this week, and the few glimpses of sunshine and warm-er-ish weather have me so ready to cash in the sweaters and boots (cute though they are) for capris and sundresses.

So...

this has me thinking ahead to the official start of spring...which in turn has me thinking of:

* Cadbury eggs. Of course I would have to start the list with food. I adore Cadbury eggs. My favorites are the original ones, but I like the newer ones too - with caramel and other stuff.

* Easter dress. Dress shopping has historically been dramatic for me because nothing ever fits right and I so often have trouble finding a fabric pattern I like, but from the glimpses I've seen this year, I think I might actually be in luck!

* Opening the front door. Kaegan and Braeya LOVE looking out the front door, so whenever the weather gets warm enough, I love to open it and let them look out. I also love all the extra light it lets in. I think all three of us are ready for those days to come back!

* Opening the windows! I actually am not a huge fan of open windows all over the house, but I have a couple that I like to open (again, mostly for Kaegan and Braeya) when the weather perks up, and I'm ready to see those curtains blowing in the breeze again!

* Flip flops. They're taunting me from the box in the closet. I'm not really a flip flop addict, but I would so dearly love the option.

* A coatless commute. To be able to walk out the door without stopping by the coat rack...what would that be like??

* Tulips and lilacs. The first signs on the property that spring really is here!!!! My sister said she has some spring flowers poking through at her house. Maybe I should go live there. Think she'll notice?

* Washing windows. I think it's pretty pathetic that I'm so ready to bring on some spring that I would even put a chore on this list. But yes, I would be willing to wash a window if it meant spring would be here.

I'm sure there's more...help me! What are you looking forward to this spring??

What? No crocuses? Or are they done already?

Spring took me by surprise today. It's been sweater weather lately (not wear-a-cardigan, but wear a sweater with a light jacket over it), so that's what I put on this morning. When I got outside (with no time to change clothes), it was already low 70s. Oops!

I'm looking forward to finding a nice white cardigan in the stores again (when I started looking for one in August, they had all the blacks and browns out for winter). Maybe I should go shopping again. The white ones might already be back...

Ummm... Never mind what I said about the weather here. The rain came back last night. It's still winter.

It's back here too. Sadness.

And no crocuses for me...if the flowers weren't planted before I moved in....they sort of never got planted.
