Winter, are we through?

Middle of March and I've been ready for spring since February 15th.  The snow on my lawn has FINALLY melted.  My house faces north, so it takes forever for my lawn to de-thaw. The sunshine is more than welcome for my S.A.D. soul.  So to usher in what I hope is the end of the snow and even though spring doesn't officially start until Wednesday, I wanted to post some pictures of our winter and be done with it!



Disclaimer: Yes, there are no pictures of me... on purpose. Not until I lose some of this winter fat and all the fat from seasons prior!



Katie had two 2nd grade programs.  This was the "Friendship Program" with the kids doing the "Friendship Rap".


Our 2nd annual "Snow Day" trip up to Heber.  We go to John's stepdad's cabin in Heber, sleep-over and the next day, we ride the tractor and pull the homemade sled around the backyard. Here's John driving with my nephew, James.  Katie and Ethan love to hang on the back of the sled and play "Indiana Jones" while they're dragged around the yard.  Lots of fun, but the snow clothes get filthy!

Katie had a field trip at the Hogle Zoo.  It was with the school's art teacher.  They got to go around sketching animals.  That's why I LOVE her school.

Yeah for our Discovery Gateway membership.  The perfect remedy for cold winter days.  Here's Katie and my nephew, Ethan.  We went several times and it never gets old for the kids.

It's so nice outside today- too bad I have to spend most of the afternoon in the car.

They play "Indiana Jones" - that is hilarious. You have one cute daughter. And I think between you and the Mocks you have convinced me Highland Park will be the place to be (...still 5 years down the line, but you can never think about school too early, right?)
