In the last ten days we have had very little sunshine. We have had lots of rain, along with some hail and tornado warnings. It has been chilly and overcast. We have been cooped up in the house.
Today there is finally a break. The temperatures are mild, though nowhere near as warm as they should be for May. The sun is making a debut. The grass and our swing set is wet, but I told my girls to put on their shoes and a jacket because they need to go outside for some fresh air. One of my daughters dissolved in tears. She did not want to go outside. Too bad. I told her she had to stay outside for at least 10 minutes. It has been 20 and she shows no signs of wanting to come in! Yep. I'm a big meanie.

Tomorrow we have family arriving for a brief visit. Grandma and Grandpa haven't been here for six months, so it's a visit my girls are eagerly awaiting. I had a huge list of things to get done today: grocery shopping, cleaning the bathrooms to name a few. Then life got in the way.
First, Hubby's car had some major issues and we spent nearly three hours at the dealership this morning hammering out a deal for a new vehicle. Then, it was time for lunch. After lunch I set the "To Do List" aside. A week ago today we were getting blasted with a massive snow storm. Today? The snow is gone and it's 80+ degrees. Why in the world would I keep my daughters cooped up in the house? So we went outside, drew with sidewalk chalk, played hopscotch, played jump rope, took a walk and ate popsicles. I might be able to clean the bathroom tonight after their baths. They're covered head to toe in chalk and popsicle slop, so the tub is going to need a good scrub! Tomorrow morning I'll have to wake up early to do the grocery shopping and be sure I get to the airport in time. It's a small price to pay for an afternoon of big fun!
