It was in the 70's today, and absolutely "glorious", as James put it. Zorak worked on the garden, the yard, and the fence. I worked on the house. We turned off the HVAC and flung wide the doors. (We also let in the spiders and moths. Oops.)
The children alternated between climbing trees to perch up there and read (which sounds infinitely more romantic than it is - they're all covered in scratches and bark-burn now, and we've yet to locate one of the books), and helping with the work. Emily free-ranged most of the day, buried a pair of shoes in a pile of leaves, rode her tricycle down the driveway, talked a brother into hauling it back up for her. All-in-all, a really great day.
Me-Wa and Me-Tae came out mid-afternoon and visited. The guys got a good portion of the fence panels put up. John learned how to mix concrete. EmBaby delighted in having her "Nice Terry" (her personal name for Me-Tae) to wallow in all afternoon. I didn't accomplish much at that point other than fetching the occasional beer, and enjoying a relaxing visit with friends. Good stuff, that.
Erin and her little brood of chicks (most of the familial unit of our Wonderful Neighbors from MD) will be here in just a few more days. We'll turn the whole flock loose to play in the mud while us preggo mamas sit on the porch and gestate in the lovely Spring Weather. The kids are stoked, but I think I'm actually more excited about this visit than they are.
Did you have a lovely weekend, too? I hope so!
Kiss those babies!

Sounds lovely. Can I come and hang out too -- not preggo though? ;-)
We had gorgeous spring weather here as well. It will continue today too.

Oh, Melissa, our porch is open to you and the boys, anytime! As long as you don't feel compelled to clean, you are more than welcome. :-)
Enjoy that gorgeous weather! It's beautiful, warm and sunny right now, but the winds are kicking up pretty fierce. I'm torn between praying for rain (so practice will be cancelled tonight) and praying for NO rain (so we don't have to work in the mud). ACK! Right now, we're just enjoying what we've got.

There's nothing like gestating and babies to make one think "Spring"! It reminds me of that song at the end of the musical "7 Brides For 7 Brothers" . . . Sounds like a wonderful weekend! (Actually, any weekend without pinkeye sounds wonderful right now, LOL.) Enjoy the visit with your friends! That hopefully will distract you from those pesky third trimester pregnancy woes! : )
We got a little taste of Spring here over the weekend too. Intoxicating almost, isn't it? Hope it lasts for you!
That first glimpse of spring is nothing short of 'glorious', James is right. We are all breathing it in here too.
Give those kiddos a squeeze from us!
OH! And that pic of Em is just so sweet!!
This post is making me desperate for spring! We won't see 70 degree temps around here for another couple of months. :( Heck, we could still get a monster snowstorm - I think March is our second snowiest month!
