spring, is that you?

yesterday was the very first day of spring (did you hear me, winter?! i said it! dont you dare tell me otherwise.). we enjoyed a nice walk around town in the morning time, i got an iced coffee and proceeded to walk swiftly about as willow wanted her morning nap. i went to the library to sip that coffee (maybe read a chapter of something?) while she slept, but when i got there she wasn't asleep yet!  but it was a great and happy coincidence anyway, because unbeknownst to me, there at the library, every tuesday morning from 10:30-12 there is a parent and toddler play group! and surely there was no sleeping to be done then, as she jumped right into the vat of toys and tried to steal all the little snacks. pure happiness on that girls face. we left after a while, as our parking was about to expire.

we stopped at the store on the way home, had a nap and some lunch (her first pb and j!), then hit the grass outside. but when i say "hit the grass" i mean, stay on the quilt which lay on the grass because for some reason, willow is terrified of it. i mean, she will hardly touch it. it took a lot of coaxing and showing just to get her to touch (and mayyybe pull) the grass. i couldve taken a whole nap, knowing for darn sure she wasn't going to go anywhere (ps, i restrained myself). and ohhhhhh my goodness, it was nice. and no wind! which meant lovely lovely rays of warmth hitting our skin uninterrupted! BUT the inevitable happened, and some clouds rolled in after a while, plus the wind started to pick up, so we headed back inside.

pb & j success! no hives to be seen!

see what i told you about wanting to take a nap? but there was no possibility. 

hands up from the evil evil grass!

also, clay came home a bit early to take advantage of the lovely weather and do some fishing. we joined for about two seconds on the beach, but willow felt the same about sand as she did about the grass, maybe even slightly more passionate.

she cried the whole time. mostly because the evil evil sand stood between her and her dad, and some because she did not appreciate his coming home early to fish and not spend time focusing solely on her. this was a hard lesson to learn for such a small child.

but before you get too excited about the gorgeous weather we had yesterday, know thats its raining now, and the forecast says it will continue to for the next three days. but i will take one day like yesterday and three days rain, its better than none!
