Another Thursday has come by and I’ve survived almost one week of spring break with the kids. You can see what I’m talking about in the post below and while you’re at it, check out the interviews with Caridad Pineiro and Vivi Anna if you haven’t already.
So, Spring is on the way. The weather is close to 20C (almost 70F for you non-metric folks
) and I went outside today without–gasp!–a jacket. The signs have been piling up for a while now but in case you have any doubts, here are my thirteen reasons why Spring is in the air!

1… The closer to Spring the more dh sneezes. He has the regularity of a five am freight train |
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Ew! Spring cleaning! Bathing suits and fitting rooms! Ick! Your list makes spring sound scary! (Or perhaps it’s my guilty conscience — I missed my workout today.) My TV-themed TT is up.

LOLOL your list is great…I’m drooling at the thought of barbequed food…

I live in Southern California, so the coming of spring isn’t that much of a relief after winter. I can smell Tax Day coming, though, and that is a nasty smell. LOL
Happy TT!

We already had to mow our lawn! (Missouri) Happy TT!

Mmm. Barbecue. We’re grilling fish for dinner tonight (assuming the store has any).
And yeah to the bathing suit thing — I’ve been griping for a few weeks now ’cause I’ve put on fat and pounds since January — this new workout just didn’t cut it for me. Believe me, I’ve been heavy on the cardio for the past three weeks! Out, damned fat!
Happy TT!!

Thanks for stopping by, read your post below and yes it would be hard to entertain kids living in an apartment. Do they get another break in the summer? That is a different schedule for sure.
We still have snow in our yard, but it is melting! No bugs here, yet.

The–Spring Cleaning and the prospect of some serious dieting are scary.
Jen–there’s a forty day break in summer from the third week of July to the end of August. I try to use that time to get back to the US. I grew up in the country. My kids are living a completely different childhood from my own.
Susan–I’m at the too scared to step on the scale to see how much I have to lose. Yup. I’m a coward.

Spring hasn’t hit here yet. I really want it to. It’s still cold!
It also means I need to start exercising soon so I don’t look gross come summer.

barbecue – one of my favorite spring/summer things to do!
Comment
Great idea for a list. I’ve been sneezing like crazy too.
Thanks for stopping by.

Ah, spring. You’d never think it if you were in eastern Canada today — some places had as much as a foot of snow. Ugh.
Have a happy Easter!
Comment
That is a fun list, and one I can feel as well. Where did the easter bunny put those baskets? and the plastic eggs? CUTE!!!
