I Can Feel It In The Air! GMYBSPSF

Thursday, March 11, 2010 by Lolli 57 Comments

What is IT?

Spring, of course!

After being cooped up in our house for MONTHS, we’ve finally had some warmer temperatures. The snow if melting and we’re heading outside.

First Spring day at the park!

The kids were ecstatic about riding their bikes to the park. Can you tell on their faces? I just love that you can see the last patches of unmelted snow still on the grass behind the pathway to the park.

Isn’t it funny how warm 65 degrees feels after the 30s? I was slightly reprimanded yesterday (by Daddy) when I “allowed” a few of the children to wear shorts outside. They felt fabulous. A few months from now, when the 80s and 90s are the norm, 65 will feel freezing. But for now, it feels heavenly.

Today I am co-hosting with Cecily once again for a combined PhotoStory Friday and Give Me Your Best Shot meme. We lovingly call it GMYBSPSF.

Pronounced: “Gimmybispisuff.”

Just kidding. I just really like Cecily and her blog. And in a few short months I get to finally meet her!!

    Oh go throw a snowball at hubby! :-P LOL I agree- 65 degrees feels like a summer day after freezing temps.

    What great “spring” photos! I noticed the patched of snow on the ground. That’s really cool! :-)

    “Gimmybispisuff.”
    ah… difficult for me :D

    Well, you know….the fact that I gave our co-hosting day an official name this week might just push us closer. We did decide to combine forces at least once a month for sure!

  26. Lolli says

    Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 11:23 pm

    I am so glad my two youngest are my youngest….because they wouldn’t be passing any hand-me-down clothes to any kids below them. They are too rough on them!

    I totally agree with you about the weather… anything in the high 50s feels warm to us right now!

    It’s SO close! I’m sure we’ll cool off a few more times before we warm up for good. But it’s only getting better, right?

  30. Lolli says

    Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 10:48 pm

    I haven’t seen smiles so joyous in a long time. There’s something about running around and getting dirty that makes kids completely happy.

    “Just the way he was”…because that’s what childhood is really like, isn’t it? It’s about playing in the dirt and running around outside until you smell like wet dogs. Ahh…childhood!

  34. Lolli says

    Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 10:46 pm

    When I told him it was time to go home, he approached me with a nervous look on his face because of the muddy knees. I loved it. Like you guys, it made me smile. Now if they had been good pants, I might have felt differently…

    I got so many great expressions. Let’s just say that kids typically don’t get that excited indoors… ;)

  41. Lolli says

    Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 9:33 pm

    It’s so true. 65 degrees feels like swimming weather after freezing cold, wind, and snow. I’ll enjoy this til the real humid heat wave hits.

    I noticed that on the calendar. I’m sure my kids will be happy for that. Reese keeps asking if she can play outside again after dinner. Um, not when it gets dark between 6 and 6:30!

  45. Lolli says

    Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 9:29 pm

    Along with the buds and leaves and flowers, my desire to pull out my camera more often also grows in the Spring. There’s something about LIFE and COLOR that screams “Take a picture!!”

    I’m glad you appreciated the dirty knees. Now that I look at those pictures, it makes me wonder where in the laundry those pants are. With my luck they’ve already gone through the washer and dryer and ended up stained. Oh well. Happy memories. :)

    Glad you could enjoy gimmybispisuff, too!
