Come on Spring!

Yesterday I woke up to the bright sun shinning into our room. Something felt different, it felt like Spring! I excitedly got up and put on a nice springy outfit. I felt refreshed and excited. I love Spring! I have decided that it is my absolute favorite time of year. When winter is long and cold like it is here, in the Midwest, Spring is such a welcome change. In my excitement for the Spring weather I decided to get the kids spring/summer clothes out. This made me even more excited for the changing season, all the cute shorts and short sleeved shirts looked so cute and I was excited to dress my kids in one layer of clothing, instead of like 8 (I kid). But when I went outside, and my dreams of Spring vanished. It was beautiful outside but it was also 19 degrees.
I remember growing up in Vegas and having conversations with people who were not from Vegas that went kind of like this.
Them: "Vegas sure is hot in the summer, but at least it doesn't get cold there in the winter"
Me: "Vegas really does get cold in the winter, you would be surprised"
Apparently I was young and stupid. I miss the days when I thought 40 degrees was "really cold". I guess my point in writing this post is to say I am really looking forward to Spring and the closer it gets the more anxious I become. It really is time for winter to be over!
Here are some pictures of my kids looking "Springy" I figure if it can't feel like Spring outside, I can at least pretend like it is Spring while we are inside.

Ella looked very "Springy" at church on Sunday.

Nothing says Spring like a bright floral print

We are looking forward to the day when we can wear these short sleeved shirts outside without a coat over them.
