Snow in Spring??

18.5 inches of snow in Springfield on March 24????  The forecast initially called for "measurable snow", then 4-5", then upgraded to 6-9", then 6-10".  We ended up with 1 1/2 feet of snow on the sixth day of spring!  It was beautiful to watch falling as we were snug in our home on Sunday.  Here on the  kids on Monday getting ready to play (snow day from school!).

 

When you don't have sand, bury yourself in snow!

Our backyard was completely blanketed.

 



Olivia and Ethan always love playing on the swing set when it is covered in snow.

 



Usually the slide is fast in snow pants, but first Olivia had to clear it of the snow!

 



This is pretty much how Ethan spent half of his time outside - crying.  He was completely unable to move around in the snow due to it being so high in the drifts and Ethan being such a shorty.  Once we had enough footprints made for him, he was then able to just follow those paths.

Finally happy!
