Okay so it was February when we got the 3-4 inches of snow, but it was still a surprise! Our weather has been so weird and indecicive. One day its 20 degress (like today) and here in a couple days it is supposed to be 70 degrees. It's been like this all winter. I can't complain about the warm days because usually it is cold all through March and most of April. It's just getting me so excited for spring! Im ready for the kids to be able to go play outside and for yard sales to start! I love to go hunting at yard sales! I don't always buy stuff, but for some reason get joy out of looking through people's junk! On base, the junk is nicer for some reason too! I rarely yard sale off base for that reason!
Back to my topic! The other day I took the kids outside to enjoy the (hopefully) last snowfall of the year. I bundled all 3 of us up and took the kids outside. We have a slight hill in the backyard perfect for kid sledding. It's just the right slope that it doesn't go too fast for them. We all went down a few times. Nolan loved it. Lauren figured out how to stop really quick! She would put her little feet outside the sled when she knew she was going too fast or when she was going to hit something. Nolan fell some trying to walk in the thick snow. He didn't enjoy the cold hands that came with the falls. He kept taking his gloves off. It was a really fun 30 min. Im glad I put the energy into it. Afterwards we came inside for some hot cocoa. Lauren made it and it was perfect!
