playing in the snow...in may

 Last week we were working in the yard.  Sunday we woke up to snow blowing completely sideways.  What the?  By Monday morning we had about an inch or two on the ground so we pulled out the winter stuff I had already put away for the year and played.  It was super fun because unlike in the dead of winter, it was much warmer so we weren't quite so cold playing.  We put food coloring in water bottles and sprayed the snow.  Boy oh by was that a hit.
 We made snowballs and had a snowball fight.
 We built a little tiny snowman and sprayed him blue and purple.  We also gave him eyes and a proper carrot nose.  Savanna wanted to check out the window on it the whole day and would squeal and point with delight that it was still there...although it was pretty much nothing by the end of the day.
The girls also had fun taking chunks of snow and smashing them on the patio.  Heidi couldn't believe how strong she was.  We had a great morning playing in snow we never thought we would have in May.  Don't worry, by Thursday we are supposed to be in mid 70s and today we played at the park...crazy.
