March: the good, the bad, and the snow

This is from one 24hr storm!

March Came in like a lion. We had no snow one day and than two feet the next. Earl was bummed because he had already winterized the snow blower. I think he meant summerized?

The kids burrowed through the two feet like rats making tunnels. Abbey was really upset that morning. She had come downstairs dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. I told her she couldn't wear that and she said "why not" I pointed outside and said because of the snow. She started crying and said "winter is taking forever!" We feel her pain!

But within a couple of days there is no sign of snow and nothing but sunshine and bikes! The most exciting thing happened; Zack learned to ride his bike without any training wheels!!

He was really nervous at first and wouldn't even ride on the grass until I put every knee, elbow and head pad in place. He caught on really fast and soon I found these on the grass.

He is feeling so confidant on his bike and is excited to ride to school.

We now have snow again so we'll have to wait for the "real spring."

Help Mom! No I have to take a picture first.

Brandon and Abbey were so proud of their brother they told every person who walked by that Zack could now ride. Many didn't know who Zack was, but still said congratulations.

Porter loved the walks and fresh air, but at 10 months he was still easier inside. He did not like the feel of grass. He would not leave his blanket, which you'd think would make him easy, but he did whine and cry to be held.

Zack loves to read and Abbey loves to be read to.

Brandon is crying because Abbey won't let him work. How rude!

We had SO SO much fun for about three days. We took tons of walks, played at parks, ate Popsicles and got sun burned. It has snowed for the last three days. Abbey suggested that we pick up all the snow and put it in garbage bags. We are now craving spring!
