Just For the Record...

It is May 2nd and the temps are currently 39 degrees, with the forecast to steadily decline throughout this day, culminating in snow showers by tonight!!! Seriously??? Do we all know what month it is?  Do we all know that on the school calendar we are scheduled to have "shorts and shades" day tomorrow? Kayli had a talk with "Old Man Winter" last night (at my request) to ask him politely to step back and take a rest for a while. She told him that she wanted him to know that she DID believe in him, and Jack Frost, and was sure that they were listening. Se thanked them for the fun snow days we've had this year, and invited them to return again next year during the real season of Winter! She did mention that she still loved snow more than her mom. (Mom's response: I like snow, just not shoveling 2 feet of it!) Sheesh, I am losing my good sense of humor about this. It's the ultimate weather tease...one day we get 70s, the next day we get 30s. One day we pull out our shorts, the next day we've got long pants and boots. One day the flowers are blooming, the next day they're drooping. We go from dressing like this...

to this...

this morning Kayli came downstairs with this skirt, a sleeveless top, and a pair of sandals. I said "Ok, I hate to break the news to you, but it's Winter again, so you better make some switches." I think she did a nice job switching out the sandals for a matching pair of tights and boots. She just grabbed a long sleeve hoodie and put in on over the sleeveless shirt. Then, with only a few minutes to spare, (as usual) I pulled her hair up in a bun, and voila...a Spring Garden on her head!

Please, oh please, let Spring come and STAY!!!
