Is it spring yet?

Apparently, we are less than 2 weeks away from spring break here in Middle Tennessee. You wouldn't know it by the snow on the ground, and the 19 degree daytime temperature however.

Unlike WA state which has children and parents alike on tenterhooks of anticipation whether or not school will be closed that morning, Williamson County makes the decision to close schools the night before- sometimes even the day before.

Despite warnings from TDOT, and Williamson County law enforcement to not go to work ( or anywhere) during these times, Josh hasn't had any problems commuting. Yesterday Lewisburg Pike at Carnton Lane ( where we live) was closed due to flooding of the Harpeth River, yet Josh didn't encounter any of it, so it must have been only temporarily closed. The Galleria Mall across the street from Lampo even closed 4 hours early...

We started back to school yesterday, a bit of a slow go, as Gavin's math book somehow got misplaced in the move. The printer wasn't hooked up so I had to hand copy the lesson from Rowan's book.  Unpacked more stuff, and still haven't found it ( it was in the Ark-V so it has to be here somewhere...) . Fortunately, Josh was able to set the printer up this AM before he left for work so I was able to copy out the pages.

Despite the cold temperatures, the kids love to play outside in our large yard, and were out multiple times playing catch, and throwing the balls for the dogs.
 We are looking forward to more spring temperatures that welcomed us our first weekend in Tennessee!

this little critter-- an Eastern Phoebe ( previously misidentified as a mockingbird)  was sitting on the porch eating seeds. I walked by and he was only a few inches from the side door window- we love our new bird friends!
