We had our last(?) winter storm of the year yesterday evening and through the night. These March snowstorms seem very strange, but apparently they're not all that uncommon; at least according to the weatherman they aren't.
The kids have been begging to go play in the snow since before it started snowing. They wanted to go play in the hail yesterday afternoon, but I stood my ground. I did let them eat some from a bowl that I ran out to the sidewalk. I'm nothing if not a dedicated mother.
We have a bowl full of snow in the freezer now and we're going to make some snow ice cream later when they've had time to recover from playing outside with Daddy. It's funny how I've gone from the "can't wait to get outside" of childhood, to the "call me when you're ready to come back in" of my almost-30s.
I have to admit. I'm still very excited about the snow ice cream though. Some things never change. (Oh, and no, Mom, I'm not using the raw egg. Sorry.)

I saw them playing out there and it looked like they were having a great time. I almost invited them in for hot chocolate, but decided they were having WAY more fun out there than they would have in here!
It looks like they can hardly move for all the coats. They'll have a lot of happy memories out of this.
They do look like they're having a great time. You should keep us posted on how teh ice cream turns out, I'm curious.
Is Zaya wearing little froggie boots? :)
Snow is so fun if it is not here long, lol. We are supposed to get a blizzard this week. Not looking forward to that.
A bit disappointing that we didn't get more snow. On the other hand, it is nice that it melted away so quickly. Ah, fun times!
Snow in the Spring. April Fools from the weather, huh?
