This weekend was one of extremes- temperatures, weather, moods, and drama at nighttime. I will refrain from complaining about the bipolar temperament of the weather, because I know everyone is experiencing much of the same from the midwest all the way through the east coast. But I will say that we knew how lucky we were to experience one beautiful day on Saturday, so just as last weekend, we spent one day basking in the warm(ish) sunshine. We even arrived at our playground merely minutes before some good friends arrived with their little girls. Needless to say, we spent the entire afternoon there!\u00a0\"DSC_0032\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I received such a nice surprise in the mail from my aunt (my late father’s sister); a small collection of photos and a valentine’s card from 1956 that my father made! It was so cool to see his childhood handwriting and hold this treasure in my hands.<\/p>\n

Much of Friday afternoon was spent finally finding the light in our house and taking goofy pictures. Milo is becoming quite the budding photographer- he took the above photo in one shot!\u00a0\"DSC_0019\"<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0012\"<\/a>And then, Sunday morning, snow began to fall in huge clumps. An hour later, it started to stick to the road, the branches of trees, everything suspended in cold, wet air. It continued all day.\"DSC_0008\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0011\"<\/a>We felt suspended in a snow globe, only with spring light coming through the windows. Really beautiful. And yes, I’m over it. But it was amazing, nonetheless. So the boys and I went outside, built snowmen, and played for a couple of hours while I shook the heavy snow off tree limbs bowing all the way to the ground before they broke and shoveled the sidewalk (which was covered in another inch of snow by the time I was finished… oh, well).\"DSC_0005\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, being stuck inside is good for spring cleaning. If we had experienced an entire weekend of beautiful warm weather, the dirty laundry would still be dirty, I would have gotten absolutely none of the spring organizing and cleaning done, and I imagine I would be feeling slightly unproductive because of it. So, we’ll take it. Good days, bad days, outside and in days.<\/p>\n

Happy Monday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
