This year, the Spring weather has been especially crazy. Every time I think I can safely get rid of the snow gear (which for this southern family means essentially old jeans and tennis shoes… hey – at least we have decent coats), we get another snow day! We’ve seen more snow this year than any other winter I can remember. Awesome for the boys! Here we are, just two weeks ago – the snowman completely their creation. As we’re a little short on coal, I loved Grant’s substitution idea of frozen blueberries!!!

I do love the snow. But I’m not a big fan of freezing cold weather, and I’m soooooo looking forward to warmer days. And with this crazy Spring weather, it’s usually not long before you get a huge temperature swing the other way. Just a few days ago we had one of those incredibly gorgeous early Spring days – no chill to the air, and when you were standing in the sun, it warmed you all the way to your toes. So that’s just how I spent the morning with my Cole – toes out, enjoying the first taste of Spring! (Oh, and of course “Scoutie” joined us – she’s a little stuffed version of my sister’s beagle… she’s been a beloved friend to all three of the boys, and especially this little one.)
