Spring heard my plea and departed. I can't say that's really what I was going for at all, but welcome to MN in March. The wind has been whistling around our poor little house all day, rattling the windows and doors.
We even had a little thundersnow. I only heard it once; the kids stopped what they were doing, look around and went back to playing. I guess they figured they were hearing things. We might even get a couple inches. Pew.
I'll use the power of positive thinking.
Spring. It's spring.
Now, before I go stick my nose in a garden seed catalog, here's a story for the Aunts and uncs...
This afternoon, Oliver and Elsa were playing oh-so-nicely, when Elsa erupted into tears and started arguing, "but I don't WANNA..blahblahblah."
Since I was sitting there, I asked what the problem was.
Turns out the argument stemmed from this: Oliver was taking the train to visit Steve and Jess. Elsa didn't want to. SHE wanted the train to take her to visit Trina and Russ. And Oliver didn't WANT to, he was going to visit Steve and Jess. Et cetera.
Life was calm again once I suggested they could have two trains and each go where they wanted.
They enjoyed their trips.

Good story and glad the trips went well. Once they realize an airplane is required to visit Carl I am not sure what would happen!
Haha, Elsa must have quite the imagination. I think they had a hard enough time getting road up here. Glad she came and enjoyed her visit!
-Trina
I'm planning on taking the train tomorrow to Zermatt. I will have to see if it goes all the way to redeye.
