May 2nd, a nice spring, I mean SNOWY day!!

Yup.  So we didn't just get a little snow.  We got quite the snow storm!!  Last I heard, our total was 8 1/2 inches...which was actually nothing compared to what the totals were about an hour north of here.  Some areas received an astounding 18 inches!!  About a half hour away, the totals were 14-15 inches!  Incredible.  So we were somewhat spared.
 
The girls were shocked (and mad!!) to wake up to this.  The pool they were swimming in just 4 days earlier was covered with about 1 1/2 inches of snow.

When we got home from work/daycare, the total was about 7 inches.
 
 Luckily, we made good use of the sun that we had a few days earlier.  Swimming on Sunday (pictures in the last post), in the backyard and at the park on Monday, and we enjoyed more time outside going for a walk on Tuesday.  Hopefully we can get back to the warmer temps.  When the snow first fell back in November, the girls were absolutely thrilled.  But now that they've gotten a taste of being able to wear shorts (in fact, Addi proclaimed Tuesday as the "BEST day EVER" because she got to wear shorts to daycare - it was 80 degrees), they don't want to go back to snow gear.  They both said on the way home from daycare that they HATE the snow.  I agree.  It's nice for Christmas.  But not in May.  Snow, snow, go away!!  Since I will continue to "think spring," here are some pictures from before our snowstorm.
 
I have no idea what you're talking about.

At the park, collecting pine cones!

Such a sweetie-pie.

I remember just a year ago, they somewhat struggled to walk on this...not anymore!

She thinks she's going to attempt the monkey bars.

What a look!!

So focused.
