Do you get "Spring Fever?"

We got it bad at our house this weekend! It's been warm out since Thursday and it's like our whole house "awoke". My hubby took a vacation day Friday to tackle some painting around the house. Saturday was kinda dreary, but still warm so we opened up all the windows and he did more household projects, I finished painting the mural in my sons room, and even my kids did some spring cleaning of their own. Today is picture perfect, so we ran a few errands and did some yard work most of the late morning into the early afternoon. We even got the garage cleaned out! My girls who usually fight non stop have been playing with the neighbor kids and it's been nothing but peaceful. Do you get motivated when the weather breaks? Does everyone just seem happier?

When the weather gets nice, i do nothing but clean and clean and clean, I've been on the computer about 2 hours a day this last couple of days in between cleaning my butt off, i just get WAY motivated. Today i had my hubby to get me some more cleaning supplies, so i can finish everything up, I did all my laundry and all my roomies, the bedding and everything, cleaned, mopped, steamed, everything, I just can't wait to get on outside doing stuff... My windows are all open (But only for a few hours a day cause i have newborn kittens and i don't want them catching pneumonia) and I'm basking in it, I just Love this! I can't wait for the snow to melt and have it start to dry up, it'll be so nice, and i can start having bonfires and what not again, it's odd though because I've never been the spring person, except for the dreary rainy days, i loved those days and hated the hot sunny days, now it's somehow switched on me, and i just love this... So yeah, like you, the gorgeous weather change has bounced my household into full gear, and we're enjoying it more than ever.

Usually I'm not into yard work and stuff but today I didn't want to come inside! Even my hubby said he didn't know I had it in me. LOL I like dreary rainy days too when the kids are gone and I can curl up with a good book for about 15 minutes before I think of something else I should be doing! LOL

I'm a newbie to yard work this year. The house we bought was owned by a professional landscaper so you can just imagine. I told my hubby I should've asked the guy for a list of how I'm supposed to take care of all this stuff, and more importantly what all of it is!! I guess I'll learn as I go.

I seem to be happier, more energy and not so grumpy. Even my dogs show the same things as I do.

I can't say that everyone seems more happy because of the spring, because we live in a mild climate anyway. But my eldest daughter cleaned out the counters and cabinets and the desks. We have to get to out heavier clothes for the cold weather and put them in storage next month.

I get spring fever really bad. After the cold for soooo long (seems like forever) I wake up and come alive. Today it is beautiful, we bought a new grill and my son and husband put it together. I love cooking out. I have also started spring cleaning. I open the windows, turn on some music and start cleaning.

We need a new grill, but we bought a new lawn mower today, I got a new vaccuum and we've been spending on home improvement stuff so my hubby said I better not push it anymore this week! LOL I love to crank the music up and clean, especially if I'm home alone.
