Outside-In

Us Michiganders are all about OVER this winter weather. We're ready for Spring! But, Spring ain't here! So sometimes ya just have to take matters into your own hands. The restaurant where I work threw a "Beach Bash" this past weekend to take everyone's mind off the snow outside...Lily was SO excited to wear a grass skirt and fish necklace, throw beach balls around and lift some weights. ("Wook how spwong I am, everyone!") My inlaws were in town for the day, so the whole family met up there to enjoy the festivities.









The outside-in fun doesn't stop there! Lily has also been back to her old self again (Lil Bubble Queen)...thanks to Steffie sending some bathtime bubbles our way. She is in heaven! She wants to take a bath constantly now, claiming to be "reawwee dirty"...thanks Stef! We'll be enjoying bubbles indoors for now - and looking forward to when we can get back outside where we belong.

Well, come on down our way and enjoy the springy weather we're having. It's crazy though....70 one day, 30 the next. But, for the most part, it's springtime.
