my day

• We went to the "horsey park" this morning (Blue Mountain Park)  I think it's your favorite park, but you were disappointed that it was frozen over this morning
• The daffodils are trying really hard to blossom.  When will spring start?
• George and Lila, you have not yet met water that you were able to resist.  Even though you get soaking wet and cold, you just can't help yourselves
• I usually need to strip you down when we get back to the van because you're soaking wet and cold.  We go home and have a nice warm bath and everyone's happy again
• This is what our kitchen usually looks like.  A table full of folded laundry and a counter full of dishes.  I feel like I have three things I can choose between everyday, but I can only do two of them.  1.  I'm happy  2. My family is happy  3. My house is happy.   The house almost never wins.  I know there will be many years ahead of me when the house will be happy, but this isn't one of those years.  And I'm ok with that
