I bought Popsicles today to make sure that Ching and I have leverage to get the girls to leave the playground.

It was felt like the first beautiful day of spring today with summer right around the corner...

I bought Popsicles today to make sure that Ching and I have leverage to get the girls to leave the playground.

I had to answer a text from Ching (at the playground).  With the warmer weather, there are more parents and their kids out and about.  While Ching and I do an excellent job remembering all the names of Laurel's friends, the parents' names are another story.  There have been many a text like today that asked, "What is Lila's mom's name?"  Today I actually knew it but usually I have to run and find the school directory before I can respond with an answer.

And with the warmer weather, comes the sand.  I need to be careful of the remaining sand in the girls sneakers...nothing like discovering about a tablespoon of sand on my floor after I flipped over one of Rachel's little pink sneaks.  (And I just had the floors cleaned this week.)

Kids are out on their bikes and scooters...and gaggles of high school girls sporting shorts that are much too short.  I know I sound like a middle aged woman that is jealous that my butt hasn't looked like that since 1991.  I probably shouldn't stare...but it is a reminder that I need to start shaving my legs more frequently...
