Early Spring, Late Snow

Our winter here this year was very warm and temperatures swayed between 75F (25C) and freezing quite a bit. There were drastic highs and some lows but mostly it was too warm for this time of year. Everything around us is in full bloom: you can see red, yellow, white and green bushes and trees in bloom as well as daffodils and even tulips. 

On Thursday, we wore t-shirts by 75 F (25 C) and sunshine while today it is snowing! 

Yesterday                                                                   Today

Even though the snow didn't last too long and by this afternoon everything was melted, the kids had fun catching some snowflakes with their tongue and throwing some snowballs at each other. 

We might get another dusting of snow tonight but the majority is passing South! of us. But we enjoyed it while it lasted. With being so nice out lately, we have been to the playground a few times after school this past week:

Also on Thursday, Amelia had picture day at school. She was all dressed and ready to go:

And yesterday, both kids were invited to a friend's birthday party. They had lots of fun jumping around at the play-zone, eating cake and getting tattoos and balloon animals. 

Now, we are all resting by the fireplace and watching Frozen (how fitting). Only one more week of school and then it is Spring Break, although we don't have any specific plans. We are a bit busy lately and soon I will tell you all why. We are working on something big!
