Spring Fever

I will admit that I am one of those Wisconsin girls that always sticks up for the change of seasons and insists that despite the long winter, this is the place to live. However, it never fails to come into question at this time of the year... Thankfully we have survived February...the month I believe is the toughest of the year to get through. It is now March, finally...however, the weatherman doesn't seem to understand what that means...he is indicating that we are under (yet another) winter weather advisory. Will Spring ever come?

This is not my first rambling tirade about Winter...actually I am getting just as sick of talking about it as you are reading it! Spring fever...I have it bad. I find myself dreaming of all sorts of exotic, warm places. I think it should be mandatory that all people who live in cold places get to take a vacation to somewhere warm every February or March.

It isn't just me that is sick of Winter... Little O is apparently sick of it, too. We have officially run out of fun "inside" things to do. We have colored, watched Curious George until I can't take it any more, had picnics on the living room floor, and gone for "rides" to the grocery store (when it isn't 40 degress below 0). While all of this initially seemed to be fun (December, January), it has now become boring. I swear on Monday's when we are home for the day she is dying to say "mom, will you PLEASE take me to school". I am running out of creative ways to stay home and entertain my almost two-year old daughter. Any help here? If not, I guess we'll pop "George" into the DVD player (again)...
