Is it spring yet?

I think the winter is starting to get to some of us... BG has been asking me almost every day, "how many more days until spring, mommy?" I wish I knew, 'cause I'm definetely ready for it too! We went to pick J up from the airport in Syracuse (about 70 miles south) yesterday afternoon. We left a bit early to avoid most of the weather up here and it was freezing rain as we left around 1:00. Headed to BabiesRus and got a new duo-glider stroller (yay! love it!) and then went to the mall to hang out & eat dinner until J's flight arrival at 6:00. Well, after 3 delays in WADC he finally arrived at 9:00. We ended up finding a hotel down there since the weather and roads were so nasty. Came home to a snow drift where our driveway used to be and had to shovel that before parking and unloading the van. The Carousel Center is nice and all, but I don't understand why there are so few places around here with inside play areas for children... Very few McDonalds even have a Playplace it seems and the malls we've been to don't have a play areas either. I would think there would be more places to take small children to play when you have six months of winter to deal with! J's idea is that everything is older here (apparantly even the people) and hasn't quite caught up with the rest of the country yet on the play area trend... I know there's an indoor playground somewhere on post, but with limited hours. Maybe we'll check it out this week and find another outlet for these kids of mine besides seeing what kind of trouble they can find in our house.
