Spring Snowstorm

After a week of gorgeous spring weather, where it actually approached 70 a couple of times (but didn't quite get there), we were hit with a surprise sneak storm. So we celebrated the first day of Spring by dragging out our boots and heavy coats again, finding gloves and then just watching all the mess fall outside. This is the most snow I've ever seen at one time here. Pretty crazy. So we popped popcorn, pigged out on whatever we could forage and just stayed home. The power was fine, but it was a challenge to get the dog to do her business instead of leap around like a crazed rabbit and eat snow, especially in the middle of the night. But Erin got a huge kick out of Lily's antics from the warmth of her room, watching from the window. Ian's favorite parts were making a really strange snow pinnacle (not really a snowman) and the snow fort they figured out this afternoon. He said it was really warm in there, out of the wind. He and the inventive HC got Lily in there too. cute. Erin opted to stay inside for the second round and washed all of her play dishes in the sink with some soap bubbles. But you can see for yourself. ;) Of course, it's supposed to be all melted by tomorrow or Tuesday and spring temperatures will come back. We'll just have to wait and see on that one, because we're not taking anyone's word for it.
