A Touch of Spring Fever

The weather broke last weekend just enough for Quinn and I to get to the park for a bit. She was definitely the smart one, putting on her snow boots, while i wore old leather mules that took a beating in the snow and water. Although the cold didn't seem to affect her, I was freezing!

Anyway, she enjoyed herself until she fell off a balance beam into a huge puddle, soaking her hands and her leg. All this JUST after she proclaimed, "I didn't even fall at all, Mommy!" Well, I know it's horrible, but i was cracking up (under my breath as best I could) while she stood up, embarrassed and sniffing from the cold water. I asked her if she wanted to head home and she sternly told me NO. We lasted another 15 minutes or so before it started RAINING! Oh, did I mention we walked about a 1/2 mile to the park? We boogied our bottoms toward home, all the while, me feeling like World's Worst Mom for not putting a hat on my kid's head, and her exclaiming, "Wow, this wind is really cold!"

When we got into the house, we had some hot chocolate to warm us up, and talked about the great adventure we had squeezed in before Mother Nature took over!

Suck it up, Mom - I'm having a blast!

My beautiful little model

I'm balancing really well!

Ugh, I can't get over holding my breath while she climbs the monkey bars!
