Snow in April?!?

ok, so its not quite april yet... but dude, its march 29th. we woke up this morning to about 3 inches of snow! of course, skylar couldn't wait to get outside. here's how the conversation went over breakfast...

"mom, can we go out and play in the snow?"

"yes, skylar, as soon as b goes down for her nap, we can go out in the snow."

"ok." 3 second delay... "mom, now can we go out in the snow?!"

"skylar, b cant play in the snow, so we need to wait until she is asleep, then we can go out."

"ok." 3 second delay... "mom, now can we go out in the snow??!?"

"skylar, what did mommy say?"

"mom, can I go out in the snow?"

"YES! you can go all by yourself!"

"ok!!!!"

so i bundled her up and sent her out in the backyard. have i mentioned how grateful i am for our fenced in backyard? she played independently for about a 1/2 hour. i joined her when b went down for her nap. i LOVE the snow! we built 2 snowmen, went sledding, played ball, and even played on the swingset. good thing we went out 1st thing this morning because its 1pm now, and the snow has completely melted.

after the snow fun, skylar helped me with some laundry, we played blocks, watched a cartoon, made cookies, more laundry, had lunch, and now she is in her bed NOT napping. shocking, i know. little turkey!

poor daddy didnt get to participate in any of this because hes sick. boooo! this is day 3 of the ickies. hope he feels better soon!
