Good News

It's been a long winter here (although I think I've felt that way every year since having children).     

So this past weekend, which was sunny and in the mid-50's, was wonderful.  The kids had spring fever, and they wanted to be outside all the time.  We really enjoyed the weather.

It also happened to be the onset of daylight savings time (in early March?!?).  I've always thought that Spring Forward! sounds so nice and cheerful, but the reality doesn't feel that way on Monday morning.  Of course, theoretically the kids should sleep in an hour, but not in our house.  6 am Monday (which, let's be honest, was really 5 am), Lee tiptoes into our room.  

"Mommy, Daddy, I have good news!" she whispers, at a surprisingly loud volume for a whisper.

"What, Lee?" I grunt.

"It's snowing!" 

She pauses long enough to let that sink in.  

"Really hard!" she adds.  

We almost groaned audibly.
