Spring had sprung

First, I had to post this pic for my family because it is so funny to me. Two of my sister's sucked their fingers. My older sister sucked her first two fingers, my younger sister sucked her pointer finger but upside-down (don't ask me how that is comfortable?). Well Zinni has decided to put a twist on the family habits by sucking her first two fingers upside-down! Ha ha I think it is hilarious! However, I do hope it is a short lived habit. Can you imagine the orthodontic work she'd need!?
This is one of her new smiles. I think it is hilarious! I die laughing every time she does it! Plus she'll also makes this sniffing/snorting through her nose while she does it, which makes it even more funny!
She has so much fun with her Dad. She gets so excited when he gets home from work.
My curious child likes to get into everything. She gets bored of the same toys and always tries to do new things. So I thought I'd put her in the laundry basket to see what she thought. She laughed.
Well it's April and to no one's surprise there is snow on the ground. But for about two days there it was sunny, it was in the 70's, it was Spring! It is very strange and cruel that although my allergies have begun there was 7 inches of fresh, new snow on the ground. I don't like it. Not even a little bit. I want flip flops, capri pants, no jacket, and sunshine! Another cruelness, that was a "bad Mommy moment" for me, was little miss Zin with her first sunburn and then snow the next day. She didn't complain at all but I felt horrible!
With our brief warm weather we spent hours at the park, went on a walk, and spent a whole day gardening! We savored every ray of sunshine and soaked up as much vitamin D as we could!

This is my rough and tough girl on the tractor! She LOVED it and wanted to play with all the knobs and gadgets.



Just try to tell me she isn't the coolest babe you've ever seen! And yes, the onsie is placed in a manner as to attempt to prevent sunburn. She looked like a little Jamaican.

I can't wait for the sunshine and warmth to return. Until then I guess I'll just have to go on vacation to somewhere warmer. California here we come!
