photo rewind

Over the holidays, I got a bit behind in my posting... as you can see from the pictures.

Obviously these pictures can't be too recent because, as you can see, the grass was green.  And who knows, maybe it is still green.  But seeing as how it has been buried under snow for a few weeks now, it's hard to tell.

However, a few weeks back we did have a slight warm up and most of the snow melted.  For a few glorious days we had warmer temps and green grass.  And puddles.  Lots and lots of puddles.

For a 3 year old boy, this is just too much to resist.  So we just pulled on the snowboots and off he went.

There was lots and lots of splashing.  And jumping.  And playing.

And smiling.  So much smiling.  There's just something about watching a boy and a puddle.

Of course while we were out enjoying the melty-ness of it all, the other kids came out and enjoyed some playtime too.  They played at the park and ran around sans snow pants. This is Gracie taking a rare chance to practice on her new rollerblades.

And of course little man joined us too.  He's been inside all winter with these frigid temps, so he was like a bird out of a cage.  He loved the little break from winter, as we all did.   It's the little things that keep you going, right?

Here's hoping for another thaw.  Soon.
