Spring has spung!!

See that “mountain” behind the yard? We call that builders hill. Left over dirt from building this neighborhood.

(please ignore the sad garden..flowers will be there soon)

Best sleding hill in the winter. But come spring, best place to have a picnic!!  So after school the other day we packed up, invited a friend & headed to the top.

Looking back at the house.

The view was nice ....

& the snacks were yummy! Such a nice spring day :)

But……we woke up yesterday morning and ….

                                           READY.......SET...........

GO!!!!!!!

The warmth has arrived! Who knew how great this day would be? It was a tank top & flip flops kind of day!! Yes it was overly warm for this time of year, but whose complaining? Not us!!

Girls did some “gardening” in the swing area. (then added water to this & gave each other a mud treatment! AHHH!)

Found this …..

And what better way to get cleaned up?.......

Today it could get into the upper 80’s!

Woohoo!! Crazy!!

I think spring really is coming...

Call me crazy but yesterday was so sunny & actually felt warm! The snow is melting. Perfect timing since we needed to get out & burn off that valentine candy energy! So while my older daughter & her friend grabbed the sleds (that finally showed up under the mound of snow) & headed to the hill while the last bit of snow hung on, Addy & I ran around out back .

Its spring ! Right mom?

She was determined to swing even though the back half is still filled with snow. Notice the different color pants then the first photo. Yea, after the slide we needed to change. There may be grass areas, but they're super soggy :)

Yes, that's green grass in there!

Tiny buds!!

Hello Spring!!

Thursdays high is 57 ! I may just have to bust out the flip flops ! But as with all winters here, it will get cold again. It will snow again. But this week is a nice brake & we're loving that!
