Spring? Nah it’s still March
Sun is shining.
Snow is melting.
What could be better especially here in the artic north waseland? How bout waterproof kids to go with it? Seems they get drenched this time of year. And if you’ve had kids you know dealing with wet gloves is a pain when there is just snow. Now when there are delightful puddles to play in- well it is just a cold swimming pool waiting for a kid to dive in. So they try not to dive but you know some how they will get wet. So comes the drying off. Snow pants, gloves, boots and boot liners are all lined up by registers, tumbling in dryers or crammed with a hair dryer in effort to get them ready so you can send them out to play again.
Now when they come in you get the lovely aroma of… well I figure it has to be akin to the ‘hockey gear stench’. Thankfully I don’t fully know that stench. If it is anything like boot stench I will take boot stench. I can just barely handle boot stench. That is why I wash and dry my kids boot liners. Yes I worry that they will disintegrate, but I’ll take my chances. I even add extra dryer sheets to that load. I know feet stink. It is their nature. It is my nature to keep them from making the entire house smell like feet. I prefer not to get knocked off my feet by feet smell. I’d rather my hubby knock me off my feet with a kiss.
So bring on the melted snow, slushy streets, murky mud puddles. I can take it. Don’t you just love spring?!!?
So why haven’t I had my annual green things craving? Am I getting them in my diet so I don’t need them in my surroundings? Oh well there has to be another cold blast or snow storm coming to knock us out of our spring fever.
