you are my sunshine

in case you haven't noticed, it's february! i can't believe that this excuse for a winter is cruising on by and giving us no snow... the dusting of last month does not even count. unless i can be snuggled up on the couch with a blanket watching the flakes fall, it does not count.
but even though i love a good snow i can't help but be thankful for the sunshine and high temps that gave us some days outside this week. the kids were like bottled up crazies let loose (or wait, there is no simile there, they actually WERE bottled up crazies let loose) running around playing on the swingset, with the chalk, in the rocks, moss and dirt, on the porch, with the baseball set, with the bike, on the porch, on the wall, on the steps... they were everywhere!
