For a week now, we’ve spent the better parts of our days outside; the weather warmed up (and then cooled down a bit), the bulbs popped up, and kids and grownups alike have been outside living it up. As the saying goes, “Spring has sprung.”
Which means that sitting down inside, in front of my computer, doing that tap dance across my keyboard where I blog and read your blogs too has been put on hold. Inside games can wait too; why put together puzzles when there’s dirt to dig and seeds to plant? Every kid I know has been outside, running around barefoot, scooting, biking, and making afternoon picnics too. We’re loving it up.
And there was other stuff too . . .
like watching Annabelle perform at her final class for princess ballet
and sitting outside under our umbrellas on the days it rained outside (warm baths and hot cocoa to follow)
we ate healthy meals, cooked on the stovetop and not prepared with a microwave (I’m currently researching whether or not using a microwave is a safe way to heat up our foods); thank you Rebecca for all the info!
and each night, after dinner, my husband and I sipped wine and ate chocolate together, the perfect end to our days
I toughed up and got my tetanus shot (the doctor said I needed one and I know Annabelle gets some satisfaction knowing that kids are not the only ones who get vaccinated)
oh, and for the first time in a while, the hubby and I got dressed up for a night out (more like 5 to 7 p.m., but that’s about as late as we two old fogies can handle these days)
we attended an egg hunt, I photographed this little girl
(so adorable),
and last, but certainly not least, I read this book and this book and this book. Thumbs up to them all, especially Rose’s Garden. Inspiring.
How was your week?

My girls took turns having a 24 hour fever, so we enjoyed vegging out during the week followed a busy weekend and we got to enjoy a little sun. I can’t wait to hear what you find out about microwaves. Both my mom and sister and totally stopped using them, but I haven’t done any research yet. It would take some well documented research to convince my husband, the scientist and skeptic, that they change your food in some adverse way beyond that of normal heating and cooking.
That sounds like a lovely week! I’m especially jealous of your night out. 5 to 7pm is pretty good when you have two little kids at home.
This week, for me, was all about seedlings. I’ve started seeds in the sunroom and they’re coming up. So! Exciting! And also, I signed up for the first yoga class I’ve taken in 5 years (!!!). I’m really looking forward to it. :)
