Spring has sprung!

So this winter in Minnesota has been extra cold and snowy!  Most people who are not used to Minnesota at all would probably say, "DUH! It's Minnesota!"  But this year has had more snow and cold weather than typical years.  Currently I am in the Twin Cities metro and we have grass on the ground and birds singing in the trees at 5am.  In Duluth, there is still several feet of snow on the ground and in some areas I fear there will be snow until June!  The children have had more snowdays and days staying home due to cold temperatures than I can remember.  Several school districts have to make up extra days this summer to compensate for having to stay home this winter.  That being said, the children are excited for a 70 degree day today!  (I think the adults are too!)  I can only imagine that many schools will be having classes outside, parks will be full and some will be playing their own kind of hooky - just to be OUTSIDE!  We all have wiggles that we need to get out, windows that need to be opened and fresh air that is needed in our lungs.  That being said - when you do get outside - Don't forget to PLAY!  Have some good old fashioned fun today wherever you are!
