The Details of Spring

I forgot to mention earlier some of the details I love about spring.  I love being able to open the windows and have the fresh air fill the house.  I love seeing the small buds appear on trees.  I also love noticing the effort of colorful flowers beginning to shoot through the ground.  I love when children can go outside to play.  I love having the sun cheer me and help me feel more productive and vibrant.

Could it really be Spring?

We actually saw people in short sleeves today!!  It's the second day in a row we've had sun and it's a comfortable temperature outside (as opposed to 35 degrees).  

It makes me wonder if we're ready for summer.  The boys have already let me know there are 8 weeks left of school.  They actually like school - but, they're still kids.  I'm actually looking forward to a little down time myself.

Spring Break is next week - maybe I'll get something organized - or not.  We'll see how it goes...for now I'm just glad it's not snowing.

Would you like to hear more?

While we were out and about, I noticed some people out by the temple with signs.  There were a couple of signs that seemed to have the same message - the large print on the top stated, "READ THE BIBLE!".

Another sign read, "Jesus Christ is the one to bring salvation to all men.".  (At least I think that's what it said - that's at least the way I read it.)

I was curious why they were out there making noise.  Then it occurred to me that tomorrow General Conference begins.  Apparently, they were getting an early start.  As we passed by later, they were gone.

When I read the signs, I felt just fine about them.  I'm good with the idea of reading the Bible and I'm just fine with the idea that Christ is my Savior.  I'm guessing there must have been something in the smaller print that I might not have agreed with - but if reading the Bible and stated who the Savior is...well, if those are the most contentious points you can come up with...do you want to come inside and listen to more?

Healthness and Loveness

Megan said our family prayer tonight.  She asked that we would have 'healthness and loveness'.  Loved the verbage - and the thought behind it.  She's quite an original!

Sunday Walk

We went on a walk a couple of week ago.  I was reminded of a couple of things.

Boys can (and will) make a weapon out of anything!
I'm glad my kids like each other and enjoy spending time together.
My husband doesn't really like the combination of me/camera/him as a subject.  (You can still tell he's handsome, right?)
My children choose their own clothes and get dressed by themselves (mostly...Rachel still occasionally gets help with the getting dressed part).  Someday I should do a 'disclaimer' post with several of the 'original' outfits my children have worn in public.  Many people might not know that our kids really do have clothes that match - it would help if they would actually wear the matching items together...at the same time.  Maybe someday they'll care - maybe not.  It's just not my job anymore.:}
