things that make me excited for spring

1.2.3.4.5.6.7

Can we talk for a minute about how it's going to 65*-70* for three consecutive days this week here in NoVa? I could have kissed the weatherman when I heard that last night. I immediately broke out my "places to see" list and narrowed down the things I could cross off during the warm springy spurt. So this all means that spring is right around the corner and I am all too full of plans.

1. Eat about 20 bags of cadbury mini-eggs, for they only come twice a year! Except this year i didn't see any at Christmas time... and I was saddened by that. 

2. The cherry blossom festival here in DC! I've never been and I think it will be all just so magical. 

3. Zara, you will be my source for Ev's Easter dress if I can save my pennies and afford you.

4. Does anyone else dream about how handsome their husband is during the summer time? I mean, Jared's fab year-round of course, but I love the way he looks all tan, with a polo and slip-on loafers. Mmm Mm.

5. Garden, garden! I want a garden! We don't have a plot of land to call our own, so I've been researching things that can be grown in big pots, namely tomatoes, zucchini and some herbs. I hope I'm successful.

6. Got that in the mail on Saturday and LOVE it! I kinda can't wait to get into maternity clothes this time around. I live for comfort and spring/summer bring skirts and dresses all season. YES, please!

7. Umm... I need that cooler. ASAP.

  2. Um, why can't I live in Virginia?! I'm in rainy Portland...but there's supposed to be some sunshine here tomorrow with a high of 46. Ha! Anyway, I know what you mean about your husband during the springtime--well MY husband, not yours. ;) We fell in love in the Spring of 2003, and so that season holds such a special place in my heart. I'm excited to see all the fun adventures you and Evelyn have in the sun--maybe it'll give me some ideas of things to do with my little Adam when the sun makes it's way over here! :)

  4. Yes! My husband is extra handsome during the spring...hence why Judah was conceived two springs ago ha!

    LOVE the cherry blossoms! I can't wait to introduce Judah to them this year. If you haven't been you have to go, seriously I promise you won't even notice the crowds because you will be in awe of walking under cherry trees while it looks like its snowing soft fluffy beautiful blossoms. Its heavenly.

    Just bought some of the mini eggs two days ago!! I look forward to the eggs more than girl scout cookies :-)

    This is the year I am transforming my backyard into a wonderful garden oasis. It may be easier to do so since we live in a town home and don't have a huge backyard :-) I LOVE spring!!!

  6. Cabury Mini Eggs?
    Yes!
    I wait for them all year long.
    And always gain a few extra pounds every Easter because of it.
    It's totally worth it.
    Your list is great.
    And I love, love, love that cooler!
    Love from,
    Greta

  10. I fell in love with the little cream polka dot dress from Zara. I had to stop myself from buying it because I refuse to pay 35 bucks for a little girl's dress. But they are oh so cute!
