Winter Too Long!

I am so grateful that spring is finally here, even though we still occasionally wear heavier coats. Winter has been long and the kids need to get outside for a change.  This winter, I was reading by the fire while my daughter #3 was about 5 feet to my right on her laptop and son #3 was the same distance to the left on the family computer.  Things were nice and quiet down on the farm, the peace disrupted only by a few giggles here and there.  Suddenly, my son yelled, "Hey, you can't say that!  Mom, you should hear what she called me!"  I hadn't heard a thing so I was baffled until they explained, one angrily and the other still giggling, that they had been on Facebook talking to each other, and,of course, since name-calling can take place anywhere...!!!  Only 10 feet apart and they're talking to each other through the computer!
We ALL need spring!
