Let's Skip School

Today it is gorgeous outside. They are predicting that it may hit 80 degrees~!

I remember days like this when I was growing up, especially when I was in Jr High and High School. In South Dakota, a day like today meant slush- and TONS of it. The mountains of snow that had accumulated throughout the winter finally began to melt and everything was slushy.

I've always loved the feeling of Spring. I can almost feel the leaves starting to bud on the trees and the flowers peaking out of the ground. I'm ready to grab my capri's and sit on the grass in the park. The air even smells different- fresh and clean. Days like this are NOT meant to be spent inside. So, most of the time I would chose to skip school on days like today. I would mean well, and start walking to school, but usually I'd just keep on walking. Sometimes I'd actually make it to class. But then I'd look out the window and hear the great outdoors calling my name. I never made it past 3rd hour. This morning the girls were outside playing before we left for school, and I wanted to say, "let's skip and go to the park". But instead I pointed out what an awesome day God has given us. And tonight I'll go to school.

Days like today make me love all of the seasons. If there was no cold winter, I wouldn't love surprisingly warm days in February so much.

Enjoy the day everyone, I'm going outside!
