What did you do for Earth Day?

Earth Day is Allison's second favorite holiday.  The first favorite is Valentine's Day.  But, she'll be clear with you - she doesn't love Earth Day, she loves the Earth.  So yesterday began the summer long project of cleaning up trash.  I say summer-long because (though it takes a few trips), I get into the habit of having trash bags with me so that we can pick up trash when we go to the park or walk home from school.

For Earth Day, Allison took a trip around the block - picking up stray garbage.  Lucky for us it was reasonably warm (mid-50's), thus the lightweight jacket.  Mean mom makes the kids wear Winter Coats until the temp reaches 50 degrees.  Terrible, terrible me.  It's amazing how 45 degrees in October is freezing, but 45 degrees in spring and it's time to break out the short sleeves.
