Saturday and Sunday we played outside in shorts and t-shirts. I accomplished a lot of raking (trying to get things cleaned up before the snow hit) and Pat installed a new gutter on the front of the house so all that snow/rain wouldn't be draining into our foundation. I'm so thankful we had such a beautiful weekend to work and play outside. The kids helped pick up sticks and rocks and also had lots of fun playing together.
Monday winter returned and we now have 8 inches of snow on the ground! It's not time to pack away those winter hats and gloves just yet.

We had fun outside in the snow (kids never tire of snow -- and neither does Pat for that matter) -- we had snowball fights; we built a snowman, we bundled up Sophia and let her experience the snow; and the big kids painted the snow with squirt bottles filled with colored water. Thank goodness for Family Dollar -- $3 well spent! (And thank you Christy (our neighbor in Connecticut) for this great idea!)
