Winter outside, Spring inside

We are getting anxious for Spring. Since we can't quite have our way yet outside, we are bringing a little of Spring inside. Ryan is always looking for any opportunity to teach and excite Lisa about the world around us. His most recent idea was to make a little indoor garden, so he and Lisa went to the store together today and bought some seeds, soil, pots, and a grow light. They had fun planting together and I know Lisa will enjoy getting to water them every day. During dinner we looked out the window and were a bit surprised at the snow storm that was brewing. Sometimes that can really confuse your senses...I almost felt like putting Christmas music on. It's still beautiful, even if we are ready for Spring. Lisa is saying she wants to build a snowman tomorrow. Maybe she can at least get a little snow angel in. She is on "Spring Break" from preschool, after all! Ryan has been on Spring break, too, and it has been nice having him home during the day. He and Lyra are really starting to bond and I love watching her make him smile so much.
