Southern Spring Has Sprung

It has been almost a year (how is that even possible) that we have been living in the south. I am still adjusting to the seasons and weather here...it is so very different from living in the north. It is only March 13th and we have had our share of summery weather already - I have been wearing flip flops the past few days! It was a bit chilly this morning when I took Arabella to school - but the weathermen say it is only going to be today and then we are going to back to more seasonal temperatures.

We are trying to spend as much time outside as possible before it actually gets too hot to be outside. I am sure those temperatures will be here before we know it. Last weekend, Arabella found a frog on the patio - he looked like he had just hatched - his green color was not as bright as some of the ones we found last summer. He was just hopping around and Max was so curious about him.

Arabella picked me these "flowers" when she was at recess at school.  She filled the pockets of her coat up because she thought they were beautiful and that I would like them.  It was so sweet.

We have been playing with pin wheels and blowing bubbles.  These kids love bubbles!!

And Max, who is turing out to be a water baby like Arabella, found a new favorite place to play in water...the bird bath!
