Spring is finally here

The weather has been so nice the last few days. Logan comes straight outside everyday and it's like pulling teeth trying to get him back inside. Yesterday we went outside after we got home and Logan played with the neighbor kids. Lane wondered around again searching for every puddle he could find. The sun had dried up a lot of the snow just in one day...it's pretty amazing...but he still managed to find water! We had dinner with our neighbors...they grilled some awesome burgers for me and I fixed Logan some fish sticks. (That's what he wanted...he missed out!) We ate outside and enjoyed the sun. It felt wonderful. When I finally dragged them in we were all beyond tired.

Aaron got on the webcam around 9:30 and not long after Logan woke up asking for him. So it was prefect because he got to see his Daddy. He didn't have much to say but it made him feel better just to see his dad. After talking to Aaron for a while we said goodnight and headed to bed.

After having a wonderful yet very real feeling dream that Aaron was home with us...I woke up looking for him. Not the best way to start the day but good at the same time because I'm less than 5 months away from having him home for good. I normally laze around in the bed as long as I can but this morning I was up and ready pretty early. The boys had their breakfast and we headed out. I stopped by Walmart before work to pick up a headlamp for Aaron and some allergy medicine for myself. This morning I started thinking that maybe I've developed allergies and this might be the cause of my stuffy head. This morning my eyes were burning and my nose doesn't seem any better. Well the allergy stuff helped my eyes throughout the day but now they are on fire again and I can't take any more of the meds until tomorrow morning. How crazy would it be if I've lived my whole life in Alabama where cars turn yellow with pollen and I never had any allergy problems. Yet living in Alaska where I haven't seen even on flake of pollen yet...I'm having symptoms that I've never had before! One of the girls at work mentioned the birch trees here. There are tons but they haven't bothered me any other year that I've lived here but I guess something could be different this year. I don't know...I just know my head feels has heavy as a bowling ball and my nose is holding about 40 lbs of nastiness! Ugggg...yeah I know that's really gross. I feel horrible because Logan is begging me to put up the trampoline but today I just could not get motivated. I just want to sit and do nothing!

Well I'm off to put Logan in bed and lay down myself. I don't think I could look at this computer screen for another minute...these eyes are killing me!
