I am thinking spring has sprung....at least for now! Been working on projects and time is just slipping away. We are gearing up for a 5 year old birthday party. We are having it at the local donut shop. What is better than a donut and a scoop of ice cream. The best part, there is a park right across the street so we can parade over there and let all the kids run and run and run.

Several months ago, I pulled out Jbird's 5 year old clothes. Being the particular 'clothes-wearer' that he is, there was one pair of jeans he gravitated to. He wore them just about every day except Sunday. They were flannel lined and even with 2 layers, it was not long before they became worn. Jbird refused to depart with them and knowing I could not just discard when he was not looking, I had a plan. I told him on his 5th birthday, we would either cut the jeans into shorts or throw them away. After all the weather would be warming up and he would not need them for the summer. He agreed. So, I washed the jeans one last time yesterday. Decided I needed to take a picture of them. They got totally torn up in the wash, but here he is, in his favorite jeans. (They were not this bad before the last wash...)

One article of clothing I will not hesitate to get rid of. Between needing a hair cut and a different pair of 'favorite jeans', we are half way there. Not sure how long he will let his hair grow before he wants it cut.

My mom is coming in tomorrow for a week. Looking forward to having her around.
