OMG! Spring is totally here!!!

[LaraMN]

:sarcasm:

It's getting SO nice out!


There's only about three feet of snow in the front yard!


and in the backyard? Hoo-Wee! Break out the lawn chairs!


These smart little green dudes think it's a GREAT time to poke through the soil! Apparently they LIKE to freeze!



Come visit northern Minnesota! It's practically tropical here!

1. Can I have the li'l munchkin at the bottom?

He's just waaaaaay too adorable! :loveya:

[LaraMN]

4. Today? Probably. He's being turderific.

He's pushing his bubble mower around the house, parking it, and using it as a stool to get into things he's not supposed to (like a sink full of soapy dishes). And he's crabby and mean. He's going to take an earrrrly nap, today.

[RevCheesehead]

5. Don't you have a Barney tape for these moments?

I know, I know.... :spank:

[LaraMN]

10. He doesn't care for the teevee today.

He needs gross motor. He can't stop moving and/or climbing. His physical therapist would pleased. Me, not so much. He unfolded three baskets of laundry and threw it all over. I put him in one of the baskets and made him sit in it until I folded it all back up again. One hour until nap time....

[RevCheesehead]

12. I suppose he's too young to go shovel the driveway.

Maybe he's helping you get through the separation anxiety. :)

Hang in there, Mom. :hug:

[no name no slogan]

15. you're never too young to shovel snow or iceskate

in the upper midwest. Hope you folks in WI didn't get hit with this monster. We'll be digging out for a day or two, for sure.

[RevCheesehead]

20. Here at my dad's, I think it's gonna just be snow.

But I hate to think what might be waiting for me back home. :scared:

[Richardo]

31. "gross motor"

:rofl: Love it. I may adopt that for when I have to mow the lawn. :rofl:

[no name no slogan]

2. You guys got off light

I heard Rochester is getting almost a foot before it's all over.

[LaraMN]

6. Rochester, Smochester.

It'll melt in a week for those "Southerners." I don't even see the temp making it above freezing in the next week, here. Bleh. blehblehbleh. bleh.:P

[no name no slogan]

14. hee hee!

I heard St. Cloud only got 1/2" or so.

Roch tends to get more snow than we do in the cities, but it's usually 5 degrees warmer, too. But you guys probably get more than Rochester-- especially with your proximity to Lake Superior (relatively speaking, of course!)

[miss_american_pie]

3. He doesn't enjoy the snowsuit, does he?

Poor kiddo.

[LaraMN]

8. No. That may have been because I rolled him around in it.

He looked like a sausage. I thought he would think it alot more fun than he actually did.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear Lara......

I'm so sorry.........

GREAT pics, BTW.....

:hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

9. I wanna come visit tropical Minnesota!!!!!

:bounce:

great thread! :rofl:

[LaraMN]

11. Well, it still beats South Dakota.

Thanks, MAHNY! We'd be happy to have ya!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

13. lmfao!

:thumbsup:

thanks for the invite Lara! :hug:

[tigereye]

16. um

I won't tell you how warm it is here, then.

(well, I have the front door open) Spring will come, never fear.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

17. Don't you just love late winter/early spring in the Midwest....

Saturday it was so warm here in Chicago, I was tempted to break out the shorts and tee shirts. Today however is another thing altogether.

It's overcast and the wind seems to blowing about 25/30 mph straight out of the west. I haven't been out the door yet but I'm sure it'll feel like winter again...

BTW, give your Jack a hug. He looks so sweet in his snowsuit...even if he's not a really happy camper..

:hi: :hi:

[LaraMN]

38. Thanks, re: Jack!

All I can do is laugh and shake my head at the fact that my older son just returned to school after his "Spring" break! Spring, my ass!

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Is that your house for reals?

I am so jealous.



Of the thermometer, not so much.

[LaraMN]

24. Well technically, it's my landlady's house, but I do live in it!

I love it. It's a wonderful place and I hope we can rent here until I finish school.

[Lochloosa]

19. I don't know Lara....and give up this

[edbermac]

21. 60 degrees in Beantown this weekend....

:woohoo:

[GalleryGod]

22. 79 in Jersey today...

[LaraMN]

26. Can I be sent- oh, maybe....twenty degress of that?

please?

[Shine]

23. What a cutie pie!

keep the faith, Lara, Spring IS coming....
:hug:

[LaraMN]

25. I know, I know. We've got a rather schizophrenic climate this time of

year. It gets real old! I was out at 6:30 jogging this morning, and it was snowing and windy and wretched.

[Shine]

27. Jogging at 6:30am?!

Wow, I'm impressed, esp in that weather. :thumbsup:

:yourock:

[LaraMN]

28. I went with my friend/neighbor- it's easier to haul my butt out of bed,

when I know someone else is expecting me to be ready to go!

[Shine]

29. LOL. I'll take your word for it.

do you drink coffee before, or afterwards, or not at all?

[LaraMN]

30. It's a-brewin' while I'm a-runnin'!

This morning I was so wide awake and chatty after my run, that my oldest son asked,
"Who are you and what have you done with my Mom?"
Smartass!

[GalleryGod]

32. The Real Spring: Spring Training-Phil's Chase Utley

During live WIP-AM broadcast from Brighthouse Field...



with Phil's Broadcaster John Marzano (former red Sox catcher)

[LaraMN]

37. Is that baseball?

Would it shock you to know that I know NOTHING about any type of organized sports?

[GalleryGod]

39. Yes it WOULD....SnowAngel Lady.

I thought you were totally hip, like Andy Warhol-Truman Capote's old NYC crowd who were as conversive in what's at MOMA as they were in who's in the Yankees starting infield.

[Dukkha]

33. now THIS is bullshit!

in Columbus, OH

Monday
Thunderstorm
71 ° | 33 °

Tuesday
Chance of Snow
42 ° | 29 °

WTF? Come On!

[LaraMN]

36. Maddening, isn't it?

The back-and-forth nature of the weather this time of year. I gets a *wee* bit o' the crazies every spring!:crazy:

[dpbrown]

34. I was about to say "Have you lost your mind, girl?"

When I noticed the sarcasm sign hanging high....

I'm about to gas up the snowblower and take another crack at the driveway and sidewalks...

Whew!

[LaraMN]

35. Lucky for me, my neighbor has a plow on the front of his 4-wheeler

and he clears out my driveway every time it snows! :toast:

[mvd]

40. It was near EIGHTY here yesterday!

Still springy today - more naturally so. Some cold temperatures coming, but it looks like Spring might be here for good next week.
