Just days after I was exclaiming over our relatively illness-free winter, Kendric has a fever. I tried to explain why I wanted him to rest, "It's like there's a war going on inside your body; the germs are trying to kill your body, your body is trying to kill the germs." "I think the body will win," because it's bigger, he said. "Well, your body needs to use its energy to fight the germs, so you need to not use your energy for other things, like playing and running." Normally, he would not be so willing to take a nap; he was asleep on the couch, now he's asleep on my lap.
Logan and I made tin-can stilts this afternoon; he thought it was cool to stand on them and feel tall, but he wasn't so sure about walking with them. His sisters were more than happy to take over:
Bri was dressed for The First Day of Spring (she was wearing flip-flops until she went to use the stilts), but it's a rather chilly day.

Don't get too excited about Spring. There will be more winter to come, just like it always does in this state.
I was all upset last night when I realised yesterday was the first day of spring, not today. Yesterday was very first day of springy here, I just didn't think it was because it wasn't spring yet... Anyway, cool pictures.
I love spring...actually I love all the seasons. Do you all still have snow. I got a good laugh out of your comment about the guys movies. That is totally the way it is. I like your outdoors pictures, that's a cool picture of Ben(I"m guessing it's Ben) in the rain.
We used to make these all the time when I was younger! How fun! I was with one of my kiddos last week and he had new spacey moon boot looking things on his feet that strapped on. They looked like a trampoline for the foot! I still think the cans are better, though.
