As I look outside at the inches of snow and ice, and look at the forecast which predicts nothing but cold temps- I am wondering how we managed to squeeze out one warm day last week.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7967\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

But the second it warmed up, we ran outside.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7907\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

And let the wind blow our hair<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7909\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

February is a hard month for me. Every year it is the same- I start questioning why we live in the north.<\/p>\n

On top of that I have had what I thought were two sinus infections lately, only to finally find out that it is my allergies causing me all the pain. I had no idea. I wasn’t sneezing. But apparently allergies don’t just make you sneeze. I am now on meds and my face has stopped hurting. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_7930\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

But I still want warm weather and sunshine. I am so ready.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7935\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Miss Sassy Pants is ready. And she really is sassy.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7949\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

She is at that stage where she rambles on and on and we can’t really understand most of it so we make things up, “did she just call me a ____???” “did she just tell me to shut up???” “she said you are stupid”<\/p>\n

Mature I know<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7955\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

The walls of my house have started to close in, I am so tired of winter. I want green grass, palm trees, and warm breezes.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7973\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

I want winter to go away. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_7996\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

And not come back until I am stringing Christmas lights. <\/p>\n

You hear that winter? Bye-Bye.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7977\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Adios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
