spring break recap (in words)

So spring break is very nearly over...it makes me so sad to write that! It has been a wonderfully relaxing week...full of art projects, neighborhood walks, house cleaning, second (and third) cups of coffee, life group hosting, home shopping, soccer playing, and baby snuggling. 

The weather has been perfect, y'all...perfect! We have entered one of my most favorite seasons of the year...maybe my most favorite since we typically don't have a true autumn season here in Texas. Even though this tends to be my busiest, most hectic season at work, there's just something about spring weather that is spirit lifting. Every window and door of my house is wide-stinking-open, and I am soaking it all in. Every last golden drop of it. 

Today I'm hoping to get some dirt under my fingernails and get our flower beds ready for spring. I'm craving the smell of mulch and fresh-cut grass. I'm also thinking today may require a fresh fruit salad and some barefoot patio sitting.
