Snow

Our week of good weather was too good to be true. After living all my life in Kansas I should know by now that the weather is bipolar. My tulips were days away from blooming, my peony bush was sprouting, and my perennials had little pink tips forming on the ends. I can tell my Easter flower enjoyment goodbye. Maybe I will have to splurge and buy some flowers from Dillons to put on the kitchen table...after the snow melts and we return to outdoor life that is.

Weather like this just seems to put me in a funk. Yeah it's pretty, but I've just never been one to enjoy winter. (Especially when it should be spring) I don't really like to play in it- and the snow is so stinkin bright it just hurts my eyes. Matt and Corinne however have been looking forward to this hour for two days. In fact, they are out playing in it as I type this. I will say that it was fun getting Corinne all bundled up and seeing her excitment about the whole deal.

After Matt did a few circles in this little sled, Corinne took a tumble and face-planted in the snow. I saw that one coming. After that, Matt opted for the straight route.

I am holding out for spring.

Zoo

Yesterday at about 9 am, I decided a trip to the zoo would be a lot of fun. The weather has been so nice it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. I called Matt at work to see if he could come home and join us, and he did! The day was perfect, we had so much fun.

Spring

It sure does feel like spring outside. We have enjoyed the last couple of days of incredible weather. Yesterday we went out and joined some of our friends who were camping and had lunch at their campsite.

I meant to take a group picture of all of us out there, but unfortunately I forgot.

In other news, Audie is now crawling. She is also working on two teeth sprouting from the bottom.
Brenda and I are headed to Tulsa this weekend for a "mom's weekend getaway". We are really looking forward to relaxing and stepping outside of our "worlds" for a couple of days.
