Finally, Spring in York!

How, in an already busy schedule do we find time for exercise?  Not easy, but right now it starts even before this sweetie gets buckled in!  I set my clothes out the night before and have my bag ready to fill with my water, towel and breakfast!  We head straight to the JCC.
He knows the routine by now! Shoes and jacket go in a cubby. ( it keeps the floor clean for crawling babies.). 45 minutes of "spinning" at the cycle class and I am hot and sweaty!
We have watched the progress of this flower bed on our way in every week.  Today there are daffodils and crocus blooming!
We also stop every day to check out this drain at the edge of the parking lot.  On Monday it was raining and the water was "gushing in" and "very cool".  He also stomped in a huge puddle and got us both very wet.
Home for some "Kitty chasing" with Riley yelling, " i just want to give you a hug, Ozzy"
He usually manages to stay just out of reach.
I attempted to pack for my trip to Atlanta.  As Riley said to John at lunch.  "Lala didn't get her suitcase packed because someone was too distracting.  It was me.  I asked too many questions."  I think I have it all gathered, just needs  folded, rolled, stuffed!! 
He tried to take a nap while I started, but didn't last long.  Note the wooly hand warmers he is wearing.  No pants, but gotta keep those hands warm!
Good fake sleeper. 
After taking all the dirty laundry out if here and flinging it on the floor he packed up for his trip.  Water bottle? Check.  Yoga mat? Check. Pants? Nope.
Time for lunch!  Mama packed chicken nuggets and salad, berries and yogurt. Ate most of it.
Note the blue dishes.  He LOVES blue.  Still hearing sing and chatter from upstairs.  Maybe he should be down here cleaning and I should be tucked in for nap!

April Fool Tuesday

We are HAPPY to turn the calendar to April!  
While John gathers the recycling and kitchen trash, Riley gets a trash bag out of the box under the sink and starts to collect trash from other trash cans around the house!  

We opened the boxes holding these wood crates and took the boxes out to curb for recycling.  Then we collected our bags of old clothes ready to donate and loaded them in the car.  We stop at Mr Dave's office to drop off shop quarterly taxes and Our Personal Taxes are ready!!  Yay!  We have storytime and learn all about caterpillars and butterflies!
Riley glued this butterfly and caterpillar and picked out these 3 books. 
I picked lots of books!  
John is running late so we started lunch without him.   Someone was starving!!   He did eat a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries about 8:30.   He is wearing his library sweater and no coat today!!   Yay!  It was only about 40 degrees but with sun out felt so warm!  The daffodils on the hill by Penn Start are open!   I shrieked with excitement this morning when I saw them.  Good thing I was alone in the car!   Riley was properly enthused when I showed him on the way into town. 

Inside the house it looks like spring but it is still hard to find outside.  Lots of bare trees and brown grass and bits of dirty snow piles.
