In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Let me out!

I cannot wait for spring. I am anticipating warm weather like never before. I have cabin fever, right now. I’ve not been out of the house since Wednesday. Here it is, a sunny Saturday, and I’m still stuck inside. Kyra got sick last night, and was throwing up. So, even though she woke up this morning feeling completely better, I’m thinking I probably shouldn’t take her out today. It’s bright and sunny outside, but super windy. I want to go out and play! I can’t wait for warm, spring weather. I foresee a lot of playing outside this year. Kyra loves to go outside to play, and, now that Elijah is walking, it’s much easier to take them out. He loves to be outside, too. I have a feeling that we are going to be spending a lot of time at the park this year. I wish we had a swingset. Chris isn’t too enthusiastic about buying one for them. Don’t ask me why. Just because I’m married to the man doesn’t mean that I understand his reasoning. I can’t wait to take them to the zoo this year, either. Elijah is all into watching animals on these nature shows on t.v. He gets so excited, pointing, and making sure we’re watching, too. He especially seems to like the bears and lions. So, I’m really looking forward to taking them to the zoo. And Dollywood! That will be so much fun, this year. Kyra is old enough to really get into things and enjoy them, and, now that Eli’s walking, he can ride the kiddie rides at Dollywood, too. The only bad part is that Chris will be gone for the whole month of April and half of May. That’s going to suck.

Well, I just said, “Who wants to go outside?”, and Kyra said, “Kyra Joy does!”….”and JoJo, too!”. So, I think I’m going to bundle them up and brave the wind. Just for a little while. I’m tired of being inside!

When we moved to our current house, my DH didn’t want to buy a swingset either. I was wearing him down, but he just didn’t see the value in it. SO I mentioned to my grandparents that the kids would love to have a swingset and they bought one and brought it over! :) DH still wasn’t convinced, so guess who spent all afternoon assembling the darn thing?? (yours truly of course - with a little help from my SIL)
Maybe call your parents?? :D
My kids play on theirs every day in the summer. It’s been great. I even got them a sandbox to put next to it last summer.
