We've had unusually warm weather until an artic blast blew in this weekend. Friday morning it was mid to upper 60's & I met my girlfriends to walk outside. By that night, everything was cancelled because we had a major storm blow in & they were predicting high winds, hail & possible tornadoes. Thankfully, all we got was a lot of rain but the next morning I woke up to the sound of sleet. I ran to look out the window excited to see something & all I saw was a wet ground. By the time the girls woke up, it had changed from sleet to snow:
It was too early & I was too cold to go out there so this is the picture from our front porch. After breakfast, the girls ventured out in their pajamas & rain boots:
They didn't stay our there long because we had basketball games to get to. We were hoping the snow would still be out there when we left Fieldhouse, but most of it had melted. Actually, let me clarify. It never got out of the 30's which is cold for here, so the snow in the shade stayed but the snow in the sun melted. Sadie was so excited when we got home because the trampoline was covered still so she played for a while & I caught a picture of her making snow angels:
And yes, that is our crazy child. Outside in rain boots, snow gloves, ear muffs with shorts!
By Sunday, it had warmed up to the 50's so most of the snow was gone except for a small patch left on the trampoline in the back. Sophie had a friend over to play so they had fun bouncing around in the snow also:
Later that night, our neighbors had a bonfire. This is an annual tradition for them where they burn their Christmas tree. Can you tell the kids had so much fun helping chop up the tree to throw in?!
Did I mention that they also set up a tv so we could watch football by the bonfire?! So the adults had just as much fun as the kids!
It was the perfect way to end the weekend. Thank you Baird Family for throwing an impromptu neighborhood block party & bonfire at your house!
