Spring is in the air

This weather around here is such a tease.  Today we had 70 degree temperatures, but tomorrow is only supposed to be around 45.  Boo.
However, the 70 degree weather?  Brings so much life out of me.  I get so much energy flowing and so much motivation!  So today, we did some cleaning and lots of playing! 
Our back yard is fenced in, so while I was cleaning, Mia and Sam were outside playing and jumping and running.  Running lots of built up “sillies” out!  Every few minutes I would peek out the glass door (that was open the whole time) and check on Mia.  One time she came running in with her little hands clasped and showed my her very first ladybug she had caught!  She was so proud and was talking to it, saying “It’s ok ladybug!”

A few minutes later, I was checking on her and saw her bent down beside the deck picking weeds  “flowers.”  She came running up the steps and told me “Mommy!  I picked you a flower!”

And then my heart melted.  My very first picked flower from my sweet big girl.

Once the cleaning was done, we went outside and played!

My heart and soul, minus one.  One precious one, that is.

Love the spring.  Love my family.  Love my life.
