Has Spring "SPRUNG"?

Signs of Spring......

~I am being awakened not by an alarm but by chirping birds
~My bird family has come "home" for the third year in a row now to build their next under our deck
~My red-winged black bird is back sitting on cattail in the field behind me. You should see him do this in the wind:-)
~My pants have become high-waters and it's not because I have grown (up, that is)
~I roll my window down when I drive and realize "I am my father"
~I can't tuck my children in by 9pm. It's stil light out and they want to keep going.
~My children drop their backpacks in the driveway and don't even make it in the house after school. They just start playing
~I am continously losing Aden. He is my resident "wanderer". Or you could say, my social butterfly
~My kids need two baths a day. They are filthy by evening.
~The grill has been fired up and used at least two to three times a week
~ I have exposed my toes. My flip-flops are out and in full force:-)

Signs of Spring.....these are signs for our family. How about you? How do you know spring has arrived??
