I always forget how desperate we are for the warmth of spring until we have a bizarre day of warmth and sunshine smack dab in the middle of winter. Today was such a day. It was sunny and warm. The perfect weather to counter the winter blahs. I got the boys outside as soon as we could throw on boots and jackets. They stomped in every puddle they could find, spattering mud and goop on them, on each other and on me. They threw rocks into a frozen lake, trying to crack the surface of the ice with brute force. And we walked and walked some more, enjoying the warm wind on our faces. There is nothing like a little warm sunshine to put a smile on a child's face.
We made it out again after nap time. The boys entertained themselves for an hour, cracking ice and digging in mud puddles. They were covered, head to toe, in dirt and sloppy mud for the second time of the day. It was a perfect promise of the spring to come. Until, of course, it snows tomorrow morning.
