.......................................................................

Thanks to all who entered! Looks like there are lots of us love spring blossoms and sunshine.  Speaking of shine, my littlest one is sporting his very first "SHINER". (Cheesy segue, I know.) Poor bug bonked on the entertainment armoire last night. Wobbly and exceptionally short legs + shaky balance+ a busy Mommy making dinner = The perfect storm for a black eye. *sigh* Is it just me, or is it a miracle the 3rd one even survives?? Poor little honey...

Ok, email me, Jessica, and I'll get your apron packed right up and shipped off. :)

Spring Fever

I remember years ago, at least 15, when I used to do gymnastics competitively. It would take months of hard work to master a new trick, and then only a couple weeks vacation to completely lose it all. It seems blogging must be similar as I'm still dusting off my old bag of tricks and getting back into the swing of things.  Please don't mind me as I try and fumble my way around...I'll get the hang of it. Eventually.

I'm still working out the kinks in the surprise I "teased" you with. (I know, LAME!) I just want it to be perfect before I share-- and like I said, I'm a bit rusty. Instead, do you mind a giveaway?  It's been so cold here we've all been suffering with horrible spring fever.  Even my winter-loving 3-year-old Gray is saying, "I'm 'borned' (bored!) of snow!!"  It finally warmed up today (60 beautiful degrees) and we were able to get out and enjoy the sunshine. On our walk Olivia and I both shared what we were grateful for-- Me: the crocus blossoms just starting to peek out from under the ground. Olivia: the neighbor's chickens! :) Ahh to be 6 again...

**OK, all you have to do to enter the giveaway is leave a comment sharing something you're thankful for this spring-- it can be anything! Easy-peasy, right? A winner will be drawn randomly next Friday, April 24th. (International readers are welcome.)**

Happy Easter

I wanted to pop in quick and wish you all a very happy Easter.  It's been far too long and I miss you, my old blogging friends. Check back next week for an overdue surprise.  (<------ yes, that was an official teaser.)
