Loooking back a few posts on my blog, just 10 days ago we got over 6 inches of snow and had very cold and blustery conditions. Today we just like a late June day......high 70's, bright sun, and warm! Today really felt like summer in so many ways. We had our first t-softball practice. Matt and I are coaching the team together, and it should be lots of fun....let's just say that if we get the kids running to the right base and get them to understand that when the ball comes their way, they need to field the ball, that will be a highly successful season. They are so sweet and.....distractible......at this age. It should be a really fun season, and giving the kids a fun and positive team experience is our main priority.
And then we got home from practice and the hose and bathing suits came out. It never fails that the first hint of 70 degrees bring with it the begging to run in the sprinkler and get wet. Our kids and the neighbor kids had lots of fun chasing each other around the yard and getting splashed.
But.....I hear that we are not done with cold weather yet, so we are not getting over confident that summer weather is here to stay. We will just savor it while it is here.....and keep the boots and winter coats in the front closet for just a few more weeks.......just in case.

We loved the sun and warmth today! I spent time with my kids outside, and didn't even bring my camera ot with me- just to ensure that they all just had fun. {They son't appreciate all my picture-taking yet.} And yes, we will brace ourselves for the possibility of cooler temps. Hopefully no more snow in the forecasts!
Glad you had a great date. Chip and I are going out (with another couple) tomorrow...and I am excited. It's just a nice, causal dinner, but still, it's fun and refreshing to connect without the demands of kids around.
By the way, I thought I'd give you the link, after your storyteller post, to my friend Tom K. He's our school administrator, but has a passion for stories, poetry and words. Thought you might like his recent posts on why people blog...and the lost art of letter writing- www.patternsofink.blogspot.com
Have a great week! One of these (warm) days I would love to have lunch and chat and have a real-life blogpost with you! =)
