Beating the Winter Blues

I don't know about anyone else, but we are all so tired of winter. I am so glad that the snow is melting and that we are starting to see grass again. The girls are going outside and playing a little on their bikes and it is so nice to just have them go outside. The other day they were playing outside and the boys just stood at the door watching them. So, I put their coats, hats and gloves on and we went out and rode bikes for awhile. They loved it. I can hardly wait for Spring and Summer so they can go outside and play.

The other day Kayla came home from school with a big owie. The picture doesn't do it justice.

She had slipped on a patch of ice on her way into school that morning. She said she didn't cry and she just got up and went in and told her teacher. They took care of her there and she did just fine. The only problem is that she is starting to pick the scab. I keep telling her that it is going to leave a huge, nasty scar if she picks it, but she doesn't seem to care.

Matt has been studying non-stop for his Comprehensive Final for his Masters. It is a 6 hour test on Wednesday and we are all keeping out fingers crossed that he passes. If he doesn't, he will have to study more and take it again. I don't know who is more anxious for him to be done. Him or me. If he passes, he will only have one more class that he will take in the first summer term and he will officially be done in July. I am so excited for him to have time to do projects and spend time with us. It will all be worth it in a couple of months. Keep your fingers crossed that he passes.
