The girls and I have all had cabin fever for the last 4-ish months. It's one of the side-effects of living in a basement apartment all winter, with no west-facing windows, and only two small south-facing ones that are mostly blocked by the house next-door.
My daily escape has been getting the mail... which I insist on doing by myself because it's the only breath of fresh air and peace and quiet I am guaranteed. I also often run out without a coat because if I stop to grab a coat, chances are someone figures out what I'm doing and wants to go with me, and because the shock of cold air often jump starts my motivation a bit more, so when I come back in I'm ready to get back to work.
Yesterday, I ran to the mailbox and realized... our basement was colder than it was outside. I quickly grabbed the mail, and ran back inside and announced to the girls that we were going to the park as soon as they could get their shoes & coats on.
I grabbed my ipod because I figured I'd want a couple good videos... but I forgot my camera, so I don't have any stills.
I kept the boys bundled up because they don't run around, and I didn't want them to get chilled just sitting there.
Good thing our park has 4 swings. :) Sorry about the squeaking.
It was really nice to get out of the house, even though we were only gone an hour. I am SO looking forward to spring!

I think he did actually see his shadow, but it doesn't change the fact that it's been pretty nice lately. I'm quite eager for spring as well - so much yard work and gardening to do here! I can't wait!
