Spring (and Mosquitoes)

Spring is here and it is gorgeous.

But so are the mosquitoes.

That is all I will say, except that one of my goals this year is to wear mosquito repellant on a regular basis (the kind with the maximum possible deet).

I hate mosquitoes.

But everything else is wonderful—beyond wonderful.

Shaemus and Calvin both have teachers that just love them. Calvin's teacher says whenever she is feeling down and needs a pick-me-up, she goes and hangs out with Calvin. Calvin found a snake yesterday, a small, dead snake. We think it is a rough earth snake. He ran in the house after finding it and wrote down a list of nine things he identified about the snake. (This was his idea, not mine.) Below is the list. Pretty brilliant for a kindergardener if you ask me!
