10 Things You're Looking Forward to in the Spring

1. Baseball. Spring training in Grapefruit League territory is a must.
2. Orange blossoms. These are blooming all over already, and the scent is so wonderful.
3. Kite week at the elementary school.
4. Open windows. Spring in Central Florida lasts about 3.2 nanoseconds, so you have to grab those sunny, lower-humidity days whenever you can.
5. Bare feet. Oh, who am I kidding. I go barefoot all the time!
6. Slurpees. The best on sunny afternoons.
7. Spring break! A week away from my school darlings is precious, precious time--especially since they can't wait to see the back end of me at that point!
8. Soccer games. DD is back in the shin guards. Not so jazzed at the idea of having to drive from the diamond on one end of town to the field on the other, but them's the breaks when you have two kids playing different sports.
9. Easter baskets. SweeTart chicks and ducklings, Starburst jelly beans, Butterfinger eggs, and the one Cadbury Egg I permit myself each year--chocolate creme, of course. No Peeps allowed.
   
10. Memorial Day. Because Baby Bro will be home--finally--from Afghanistan.
