Day 105: Spring Is In the Air

Today was a good day.  The temperature reached a high into the--gasp!--60s!  Oh, my lucky stars!  What have we done to deserve such a wonderful thing?!? 

The snow is (still) melting away, but the children had a chance to actually get out on the playground and PLAY!  In JACKETS!  No gloves or scarves or heavy winter coats today! No siree! No indoor recess or running haphazardly around the bus loop, either.  Not today.  Today there were swings, tricks on the climbing apparatus, jump rope, tag (with a cushion of tanbark to help break the fall), four square, basketball, and slides.  The children were in heaven.  So was I, for that matter, because they weren't inside the classroom competing for Loudest Playgroup. 

I can get used to more days like this.

Maybe Punxsutawney Phil does know what he's talking about.
