Welcome Spring---Wait, WHAT?

March 21st is the first day of Spring right? Well apparently Mother Nature got confused because she dumped a load of snow on us last night (March 21st). We woke up this morning (the 22nd) to about 4 inches of snow covering the ground. Considering only a week earlier it had been almost 80- it was crazy to see the world covered in white.

So, as strange and annoying as it was to have the weather turn cold just as I thought we were getting into Spring, we tried our best to make the most out of our snow day.
We loaded up and headed to my parent's house. They were at work but they had a sled at their house and we really wanted to go sledding, so we drove over there and played at their house all day.
(Don't worry, the roads were fine. Any chance our snow plows get, they plow the roads repeatedly...)

We actually had a really fun day in the snow. We went sledding, made a snowman and snow angels and had countless snowball fights. Halfway through our playtime, we went inside to warm up, dry our clothes and have some lunch. Just as our mac-n-cheese was done, Papa got home. We ate lunch and then headed back outside to play with him. My little nephew Clark came over too with his momma. The kids loved having Papa home. The sledding and snowball fights would have never ended if it wasn't for me eventually bribing the kids to come inside with warm chocolate chip cookies. Their little hands were so cold, but they were too busy playing to notice.

We had so much fun playing. After coming in and getting in warm clothes, we packed up and headed back to our house. The kids napped and then we watched a movie. Later that night we made "snow ice cream" with Daddy. That was a huge hit with the kiddos.

It was such a fun snow day. Here are some pics of our fun in the snow.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
So now that we've had our big snow storm, maybe we can move onto the nice weather that Spring usually promises us. So ready!
