January has been a cold, snowy month. I think our entire household is ready for some warmer weather – even if it warms up just enough to get outside and enjoy all of the snow. Sophia took advantage of the warm sunlight streaming in our front window on Saturday morning. It was below zero outside, but toasty warm laying on the arm of our sofa.
That is the amount of snow that we received on May 7. Rather than being completely freaked out, the kids, Mike and Daphne decided to enjoy it. I was personally a bit freaked out, but kept myself amused by seeing how much fun they were all having.
By lunchtime this is what our backyard looked like. I didn’t have much luck playing fetch with Daphne. She had difficulty finding the ball and when she did actually locate it, she rolled it around so much that it turned into a snowball.
After we all got home from work and school, Mike pulled out the sleds from the top shelf in the garage while I dug out winter boots, hats and mittens. Mike and the kids piled up snow for a jump in the backyard, then pretended it was February instead of May.
The plants, bushes and trees took a bit of a beating.
After getting my fill of snow, I headed inside while the kids and Mike stayed out to play some more. Sophia found it amusing to throw snowballs at me while I was looking out the window.
Sebastian also found it very amusing.
