Springs Is On The Way....I Hope!

Yuck, yuck, yuck. I have been sick the past few days with some sort of yuck. I have had all the flu symptoms and am pretty sure that's what it was. Chris bought me some over the counter medicine that is supposed to help with the flu, called oscilloccinum. After the third dose, I am feeling much much better and think it has really helped. Next year I am going to keep it in my medicine cabinet! Kristin is on spring break and has been home with me and has been great. I've never had to worry about her getting into things or trying to leave the house and she has always been very independent. She has been such a good help....she's more than happy to eat cereal all day long, she has been feeding the dogs and letting them out. She keeps herself entertained and will play all day. Such a sweetie! Tomorrow I'll be going back to work after I take Kristin to the dentist.

I think Spring may actually be on the way. We missed out on the last round of snow that pretty much everyone else in the state got. I am so ready for Spring to get here, which is unusual for me. I used to love winter, and I still do, but since teaching preschool, I dread the days that it is too cold to take the kids out. We go as crazy as the kids do. So, I am ready for warmer weather.

On Saturday Kristin will be getting Spring pictures taken. She is pretty excited about it, and I'm glad. I told her if she smiles and cooperates for the pictures, then I will buy a dress she has been wanting for Easter. What can I say? There comes when every parent will gladly bribe their child into something! On the 24th she starts t-ball and will practice on Monday's and Saturday's. The first game is April 14th...it should at least be entertaining!

Today is absolutely beautiful as was last weekend, which we spent outside playing. Here are some pictures of Kristin having fun in the backyard swinging and playing soccer. I have found that when she is mad, the best thing for her is to kick the soccer ball around for awhile.





Last year for Christmas Uncle Kenny and Aunt Connie got Kristin a sun art kit and since it was a nice sunny day, we pulled it out. She loves it and it is pretty cool when the decorations are taken off to see what was made by the sun. Here are a couple of pictures of Kristin and her art project. Lots of fun on a fun day!
