Tackling the Hay Field... er, um Yard

Monday Sean decided that it was time to mow the lawn. We had a few days of rain last week and some beautiful days which lead to a yard with VERY tall grass.

Little Bit 'O Snow

What a week this has been, '70 and beautiful on Wednesday and today there is 10 in. snow. The kids loved it, they were out for a while this morning while Sean shoveled the walks and road. They wanted to make a snowman but the snow didn't hold together very well.

This morning when we came down for breakfast M1 announced that she wanted a cake for St. Patricks Day. She said it needed to be green and shaped like a shamrock. I am still wondering how she knew it was St. Patricks Day, we haven't talked about it at all. We did have the TV on alot yesterday watching the weather and news so I guess that is where she heard about it. I did have a cake mix and store bought frosting so I humored her, even tinting it green. I didn't shape it like a shamrock but we did put M&M's on it and tried to make a shamrock with those.

Beautiful Day in NEPA

The last few days have been beautiful. Today topped out at about 71 degrees on the back porch. With the ability to take time off school, I took the kids down to the church and let them play with the Thomas kids. After they got home, the kids went outside and played after naptime until 8:00 pm. They were having a blast jumping on the trampoline, swinging on the swing set, setting up a "rock store," and generally kicking up their heals. Tomorrow, the temperature is supposed to top out a little higher, but, as usual for March, weather prediction is just that, prediction. The temps are supposed to drop like a rock with the potential for snow showers. Welcome to the PA end of winter season.
