We got our blizzard! Over a foot of snow. I love snow! It started snowing early Thursday morning and didn’t stop until Friday morning. School was cancelled both days and we sadly had to cancel our evangelistic meeting last night. Today the sun is shining and the snow is melting. Naomi told me yesterday morning and this morning, “Mommy, I need to go outside”. We played in the snow this morning, but it is to deep to walk around. Naomi didn’t want to go in the house, she likes the snow. Poor Esther is sick and was taking a nap while we played outside. We are so thankful for the snow, we needed the moisture.

A couple of weeks ago we went to the recreation center with some friends and went swimming. We all had a blast.

As I have said before, Naomi loves to dress-up. Whether it is to dress-up in her princess things, or just to put on her winter hat and gloves. The other day I found a clown suit in a box that Aunt Amy wanted to borrow for “clown day” at school. I put it in a bag by the door so that we would remember to bring it to Amy. Naomi found the outfit and said “what’s this?, what’s this?” Of course she wanted to put it on. We kept telling her it was too big, but she insisted. She looked so cute in the yards of fabric.

Two weeks ago we got a little bit of snow. When Naomi finished breakfast she looked out the window and saw the snow. She said “Snow! I put hat, mittens, scarf, boots, and coat on.” Any excuse to get dressed-up! She went upstairs, got herself dressed, and then came down and wanted all her winter things on. This was at 8:30 in the morning, and it was only in the 20′s. Then she asked to go outside. So, I opened the back door and out she went. She just stood on the back patio, and about 10 minutes later wanted to come back in. She thought because there was snow on the ground that she needed to wear her hat, scarf, and boots for the rest of the day.

My mom as been here for a visit, and we have had wonderful weather. It has been in the 70′s. We are getting spoiled. March is usually Colorado’s snowiest month, so we might be in for a big snow storm. Yesterday we took a picnic to the park and Shaun was able to join us for lunch. We stayed at the park for a couple of hours, and Esther got sunburned.  Today, the girls played out in the back yard. They love to play in the dirt. Esther had sunscreen on today and the dirt was sticking to her hands and face. She was a mess! I’m so glad they enjoy being outside. We have had a great time together.
