Can’t believe it’s April 19th and there is a fresh foot of snow outside on the ground. I won’t say I’m thrilled, I’d much rather be gardening, but when your garden looks like this, you just have to find something else to do instead…
So instead of planting flowers or strolling along a sun drenched path the girls and I spent our morning outside doing other things. Like…
Building a snowman…
Hugging a snowman and…
Feeding a snowman lunch. Although I was in formed that our snowman was in fact named “Ms. Snowman” and was therefore a girl.
We also…
Put a ball in our mouth…
And pretended to be a puppy. And by “we” I mean “just Lydia” because no one else was so brave as to chew on a wet ball from off the driveway.
Additionally…
There was a pine tree close to the snowman and…
Alethea thought it was hilarious that the tree was tickling her. A bit of preschool humor there for you.
And for our last hurrah, we..
Found a puddle to jump in and had a good time getting soaking wet and then a not so good time becoming very cold.
After which we…
Went inside and had hot chocolate…
Good to the last drop!
I thought about you today & wondered if the girls would be out playing in the new !@#$% snow. I should have just called & came down. It looks like you 3 had a great time! I’ve seen quite a few snowmen being built. : )
You totally SHOULD have come down. We did have a good time right up to the very end when Lydia lost it because her feet were soaking wet and her hands were frozen because she took off her mittens to play in the ice cold puddle.
I am so glad you all had fun in the snow. I sent Leah a picture of it and she sent me back one of palm trees. Sigh! Up to 50 degrees next week.
Palm trees, huh? That’s below the belt. Cross your fingers for 50 degrees. At this point, I’ve just decided that I’ll plan on snow until at least June. Then I’ll quit being disappointed.
Oh wow so sorry. I’ve been complaining about 50 degree weather this week because last week it was in the high 80s. Goes to show I should be grateful I don’t have a foot of snow on the ground and my tulip are all blooming.
Yeah, we haven’t cracked 60 degrees yet in the New Year, which is NOT normal. So tired of the cold and snow, but Alethea LOVES her snowman, so that’s something at least. She goes over and talks to it every time we are outside. Yesterday we were getting in the car to leave and she called out, “We’ll be back in a little while, Snowman. See you later!” It was pretty cute.
