For those of you not here in Minnesota, our spring has taken a very long time to get its motor going. We had snow on May 2 (remember?) and for most of last week our highs were still in the 40s. So we were really excited to see a few real signs of spring around here this weekend:
1. Jude got his first haircut. Ok. I know that's not a sign of spring. But it does fall into the category of "fina-frickin-ly." His hair might be similar to mine in color, but that's where the similarities end. It's coarse, curly, and reeeeeeeally sloooooooow to grow. He doesn't even have enough hair for a full haircut. We just needed to snip a little off the bottom. It was kind of turning into a party in the back and we might be lesbians, but we aren't into mullets.
2. It was warm enough that Jude could finally play with the water table we got him a few weeks ago
3. THERE ARE ACTUAL GREEN LEAVES ON THE TREE IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE.
5. (This is actually the surest sign that spring is here) We saw two geese and their six goslings! I don't actually have a picture, so you're just going to have to trust me on this one. Lindsay did actually turn the car around so she could make another pass, just to be sure that there were actual babies.
Though it took its sweet time to get here, spring is actually the most amazing time in Minnesota. Bring it!

(that is a miracle of nature)
4. I got to slip away during Jude's nap today to buy some flowers for my planters. Can't wait to get them into the dirt!
