Somedays being a Mom is harder than other days. It seems there are no breaks! Today was one of those days that I would take one step forward and then trip back at least three steps. It was 10:30 and I still hadn't had a moment to get dressed or start in on the 5 loads of laundry laying on my bed. Every time I checked a chore off my checklist, three more would present themselves. Kids were cranky, whiney and tired. I was feeling cranky too! I looked outside and noticed that the sunny day was passing us by. So, I did what anyone would do with a pile of undone chores.........we went to the park!

This was our first visit in over 6 months! The temperature was only a couple of degrees above zero but the sun was shining and there was warmth in its rays. We managed to come home covered in mud but we all felt more refreshed and able to conquer the rest of the day.

We still have a way to go before the snow melts at our house, but I can feel the start of spring and it feels good!!
