spring already

In the last two days, I have:


  • found three separate pairs of forgotten boots for the boy
  • cleaned said boots after play
  • sorted out innumerable socks and mittens
  • been the mean mom who insisted on hats
  • scrubbed fingernails
  • washed jeans and sweaters stiff with mud, probably mucking up (ha! a pun!) the sewer system irrevocably
  • vetoed the wearing of sneakers outdoors
  • made both the kidlets take two baths a day

The snow, you see, is gone (or almost), felled by a day of warm rain. This has left the yard damp, but perfect for playing in. And rolling on. And digging in.

How did I birth mudpuppies?
