Summoning Spring

I'm hoping these colors will do the trick- it is bitter cold, windy and dreary here- we need some spring warmth and freshness. I am struggling to keep the kids entertained and moving, and AWAY from the TV. We all want to spend some time outside, but it is just too nasty.
Mason got to visit the 5/6 year old classroom again today, and loved it. He is ready for a change, and I need to get on the ball and schedule a visit to St. Joe's Tecumseh to get him excited about next year. There is a nasty end-of-season bug going around at school, both boys had friends who went home after violent vomiting episodes today. Knock on wood! I don't want any illness to get in the way of our belated Easter celebration with Sean's family.
