Spring Is Here !

 Today I babysat the fellas and decided it was warm enough we could go to the park. So I grabbed some snacks and we headed out. After a brief few moments of losing Epifanio (luckily some other mom's at the park were with him, whoops) we had a good afternoon. Darth dressed like a dang champ today. 

Then the big boys were playing all sorts of games, and Epifanio just wanted to go on the same slide, over and over. We stopped for some water and to take some pics. 

His hand is coming up here to take the sunglasses off my head ... he figures if I wasn't going to use them, he could. 

We had an excellent time, and nobody cried! I feel like that's worth celebrating. 

Feeling Like Spring

I have wooden block letters for all the special holidays between October to April. But then after Easter, I really don't have anything to put up for the month. So last night, I was looking online at Wood Connections, and I saw that the wooden blocks for Spring were on sale. I figured, I could get those, paint them and put them up, so easy! So I went on over, and as I was looking through the store, I found a finished set of letters for as much (ok, cheaper) than it would be for me to do it myself! So instead of buying the 'ingredients' to do it myself, I just bought it done already and actually feel much better about it, since mine never look as good as theirs do. And it looks spiffy up on my ledge.

Hop in my Chrysler, its as big as a whale, and its about to set sail!

I gotta get out of this place. I'm getting restless. I keep thinking its summer. Mostly because when I look out the window at work, the sun is all shiny, and it looks so warm. Of course, you go outside and its still cold, but things are improving. Spring is not only on the way, its actually circling the neighborhood. But, sadly, things are not as I wish them to be. Lately, I have felt the urge to leave the city, go someplace (preferably warm) and just escape for like a weekend. I have been craving to go to Disneyland for about a week now-which is weird, I don't think I've ever craved to go to a place, but for some reason, I keep thinking about those blue skies and all the fun times I could be having there. But I will be going there in June, so there's a small consolation. I just have to hold on for a few more months, which hopefully I can do.
I've been wanting to go to a national park. Any of them will do, really, but I think I want to hit up Zion's the most. There's a specific trail I want to hike there, and I want to head out and just head into the mountains for a few days. I have a busy schedule of things coming up, so it'll be a while before I can actually get out of town, but when I get the first opportunity, I am gone like gangbusters. Plus, after the events that I have coming up, I'm pretty sure I'll need a vacation, to recuperate. I need some variety, something new to spice things up, and I hope I get that soon. But until then, I'll just hold on to the memories of vacations past...
