You know it's spring when...


Each day there is a new battle scar from biking....running.....


Chasing.....Climbing......

Scooting.....jumping.....



and ending the day with a new battle scar to show off to your siblings...




I love this time of year. The kids want to be outside and it shows. They start the day clean and cute and end the day dirty and grimy... but my motto is a dirty kid is a tired kid, and if my kids are dirty and all beat up by the end of the day, they must be having fun. And as long as the scrapes and bruises don't turn into anything else, I can handle that. It means my kids are active and outside in the shining sun having fun. And I love that.

  1. Haha, my thought is always that a dirty kid is a happy kid...when we come in and everyone is dusty and grubby and grimy my husband will look at them and say "Looks like you guys had fun!" the proof is in the laundry :) I need to take stock in Spray N' Wash, ultimate friend of moms who have laundry covered in grass stains, mud, blood, and tomato sauce, lol.

  2. I have to show Mayah this post! She took a big spill off her bike (no training wheels and still adjusting a bit) and she has the exact same arm scrape. However, our spring seems to have already passed and it is over 100 degrees already...bikes in the early AM and little pool before dinner. Good AND tired!
