Taste of Spring


This whole week has really been a taste of spring with temperatures increasing every day while the amount of snow is quickly decreasing.  Today was the peak with a high of 62 degrees.  I cracked open several windows, and as soon as Emily got home from preschool we headed outside.  The kids were still in winter gear because it is really sloppy if you have any desire to venture into the yard.  However, we started shedding layers and were soon pretty much down to boots.  Emily rediscovered sidewalk chalk.  Lincoln enjoyed actually being able to do something like pick up and throw an object since he wasn't constrained by thumb-less mittens.  We all enjoyed a stroll around the block.  Emily is convinced that it is now officially spring, and it won't snow again until December.  Alas, I'm pretty sure she is mistaken.  It was nice while it lasted!

62! Holy cow! I thought it would be a great night to go for a walk tonight since I got home before it was dark out, but it was pretty windy and getting cold by 6. So looking forward to Spring!
