I Heart Spring!

I absolutely LOVE Spring! I know we're still a few weeks away from its official arrival but each day that the sun shines and the snow is gone, I have visions of Easter and tulips and taking a walk with my kiddos OUTSIDE!!
One of the things I love about Indiana is the fact that the seasons come and go and the weather changes so we get to experience it all. However, with that said... I. Am. Done. With. Winter! Join me for a few seconds as I bask in the anticipation of the next glorious season...
1. A new Easter dress
2. Daffodils, Tulips and all the other springy flowers.
3. Bunnies and Chicks
4. A cute spring jacket
5. The smell of the ground thawing
6. Going for a walk outside
7. Flying Kites
8. Mud puddles from the spring rain
9. One season closer to the city pool being open
10. SPRING BREAK!!

Joining you girlfriend!!!! I cant wait for:

1. My flowers to sprout up because I always forget what I planted!!
2. Warm weather so that I can ride my horse again!!
3. Warm weather so we can put up the trampoline that Santa brought the kids!!
4. Our pool to be put back up!!
5. The walks that the kids and I take around the housing addition.
6. The sound of those super loud frogs in the ponds!!
7. My birds to come back!!
8. Sitting out on our deck and enjoying our wooded back yard!!
9. The zoos to open!!
10. SPRING BREAK!!!

I am SO with you on being done with winter! I am so stinking excited about spring and summer. Loved your list :)

Can't wait to see you Easter weekend!!

I am done with winter, too. I just wish it were done! I love spring (okay, I love summer and fall also...I won't say that about winter anytime of the year). I look forward to wearing spring colors and finding cute Easter outfits for the boys. Spring prepares us for Easter which has so many things I enjoy, like coloring eggs, Easter egg hunts, and spending time with family. Today's sunshine was a blessing, but it gave a false hope for warm weather. Brrr!

Hi Aimee, I was browsing "Life in the Parsonage" blog and came across your blog...I'm with you on all those great spring things! We live in VA and just had a big snowstorm so I'm ready now for the scent of Spring. Stop by my blog anytime, I love visitors.

Hey...I just randomly happened to be on my blog and saw your comments as soon as you posted them (love that)!

As far as the paintings go...seriously, I just go with my gut. I have ABSOLUTELY NO formal training and I don't really even know what to buy (except this time I knew I wanted to try watercolors since I used Acrylic paint last time). I just kind of get in idea in my head and then I go through the painting section at a store like Hobby Lobby until I can find the utensils I think I need to create it. A professional would be able to see in a HEARTBEAT that this painting is not following standard 'watercolor protocol' but that is what I love about it...I just went with my heart.

I hope that helps. I really, really encourage you to try it...I think you'll be SOOO happy you did!

If you have ANY other questions feel free to e-mail me or leave a comment on my blog!!!
