Spring has Sprung (not really - but at least there are puddles)

We've all had colds these past few weeks (with my ear infection lingering on and on and on...), so not much has been done around here except a lot of grouching.
Some coloring.  Some cutting/pasting.  Too many cartoons. 

And of course, what every sick kid needs - PUDDLE JUMPING!

It may not make the cold feel any better (and quite possibly make it WORSE), but the first puddles of the season can't be missed!  Perfect way to break up days of snotty-nosed misery.

The kids also discovered scratchy crunchy snow (no fun), a swollen river (lots of fun to toss sticks into) and the first mud of the season.  It's going to be a fun spring (if it ever comes!)



Finding the ONLY patch of mud!




oh dear.  going to be a messy spring!





The one who makes the mess, gets to clean the mess!
