Although rain still seems to be dominating the forecast, we have also had quite a few nice days, lately.  Because the kids love to be outside any chance they get, we’ve pulled a number of the kids outdoor toys out of storage to have them ready.  I don’t know if they weren’t cleaned up before we put them away last Fall, or dirt and dust just accumulated on them during the winter, but they were dirty!  So, yesterday we had a Spring cleaning party and gave the cars, chairs, and wagon a warm, sudsy wash.  The kids had a great time, and everything was given a thorough wash—multiple times!  When they were done, they moved on to Rick’s car, but quickly ran out of water.  Since the kids (and neighbors) play with these quite a bit, it feels good to have them clean and ready for use.  Now, we’re more ready than ever for some more sun!  Hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long!
