A Mommy's Springtime

If you're a mom (or at least if you're like me), spring is the time of year when...

...you get reacquainted with your stock of registered trademark character band-aids. Real fast.

...you pray your neighbor will think that a bunny ate the top of her daffodil, whilst sheltering the true culprit in your own home and guiltily admiring a certain yellow blossom on your kitchen windowsill.

...you walk out the front door to check on your kids and find yourself saying things like, "Where are your pants?"

...you open your kids' closets and start praying for a miracle of hand-me-downs.

...you open your own closet and start praying for a miracle of clothing budget and personal shopper.

...you adjust the portion of your day that is spent in the kitchen to include plenty of time for ant-squishing.

...you abandon all hope of keeping little fingernails clean.

...you rejoice in anticipation of a three-month break from matching socks.

...you look out the window at any given moment of the day and see something that makes you smile.

So what did I miss? What are the signs and symptoms of spring at your house?
