Springish Cleaning in March

The recent heat wave (temps above 30 for a week straight) has the Chicagoan Zappias excited for spring! We even began some spring cleaning this past weekend with the giant task of cleaning out our walk-in closet. Luke had a blast playing amidst piles of clothes, randome pieces of unused furniture, and lots of shoes. Luke has a slight shoe fetish - he loves trying on everyone's shoes but likes his momma's the best (as usual)!

Matt went and bought Target out of all of their plastic rubbermaid storage bins and now our closet looks,well, organized! I have to admit, I thought he was nuts when he walked in the door with all of those tubs and tops. I fear he may be practicing for a future life in suburbia - I can only imagine what he'd do with a garage. In addition to the closet, Matt's true nesting mode continued to other parts of the condo - I almost passed out when I saw him cleaning the bathroom floor on his hands and knees!!! There must have been a full moon.

So now we are desparate for spring, desparate for our daily walks down Southport, and desparate for the days when the equipment at the park is dry. I don't think I've ever looked so forward to 50 degree weather in my life - a true sign the times are changing.

Because I don't have any good pictures to go with this topic, I'm posting some "vintage" pictures.
