Weather rollercoaster

Part 1

On Monday this week we had a beautifully, warm day with the high reaching 54 degrees. It was a day to go out and play on the trampoline. The kids had a ball.

Sterling was happy to be on solid ground. He doesn't like the trampoline...yet.

Free to explore

What a wonderful sunny day. It was a nice break from all the winter blasts we've had this year already.

On Wednesday that same week (just 2 days later), this is what we woke up to.

I think we got 4 to 5 inches of snow. The news this morning said we haven't gotten that much snow at once for 3 years, so for Philadelphia, it dumped. What a beautiful scene. These pictures were taken from inside.

School was closed for the snowy day so we took advantage of it again and went outside to play.

So, this AZ girl doesn't really know how to make a snowman, so we made a snow ghost. Our friend chillin' in our front yard.

Maelie is standing in the snow. It didn't really snow this much, it's just like that because of the shoveling of the sidewalk.

Maelie saw our neighbors tree and thought it had a ton of beautiful white flowers on it. She thought it was so cool when I told her all the white is just snow. She tried to make 'snow flowers' for our little tree. It didn't work so great.

The view of our street.

We have a great little hill the kids can sled down. I had so much fun watching them. Unfortunately I didn't catch them in action, but the big dry patch is where they kept sliding down on their bellies and backs.

All the while, Sterling was cozy in his bed napping.

On Saturday of this week, the weather is supposed to reach up to the mid 50's again for the high! I'm really excited. Even though I love the snow (for a day), I'm always ready for warmer days.
