Impatient

I shoveled snow three times yesterday, and getting out of the driveway was STILL a questionable proposition this morning. I just got finished shoveling again. I have four huge blisters. We have gone through 3 bags of ice melt in the past month.

It is January 7th. There are a good three months left of gigantic blizzards, treacherous driving, freezing temperatures and bulky sweaters, and I am already sick to death of winter. So, in the spirit of willing (begging) spring to make an early appearance, I went out and bought Lucy a swimsuit today. She loves it, I love it, and I swear it made things seem at least a few degrees warmer.

In the grand tradition of little girls everywhere, she wanted to leave it on all day. I'm pretty sure that if I looked this cute in a swimsuit, I wouldn't want to wear anything else either.

You ought to come down to AZ and leave the snow. Burr can see his mom. You can stop and visit us!

Oddly, I was on a search for a swimsuit for my 5 year old today as well. Let's get outta town and go someplace warm with our kiddos!

How strange, I also tried on swimsuits the other day. Only not maternity, just the ones I thought might fit over the planet that is my front. Ya- not such a good idea. At least it made me love my sweaters and sweat pants again.

As for Lucy. So freaking adorable. Where did you get it? Nevermind- I am going to just write to you.

That swimsuit is too adorable! I love the little skirt on it. And I have to say that I'm so sorry that you've already caught the waiting-for-spring bug. Once you catch that, it's too, too hard to wait. I'm still enjoying the pretty, snowy weather, but my enthusiasm is definitely waning a bit - give me a few more weeks and I'll be busy planning my flower beds and vegetable garden already.

ya! an update! I've missed you guys and the snow has made me fill like a shut in.
I agree- Winter Go Away!

Today, I've been looking online for Jack swim suits, but not finding anything striking. Just a lot of the same boring stuff for boys. Not even Gap has anything I like. But Lucy's suit is cute as she is.
