Like many of you have been experiencing, our winter here has been snowy and cold. A few days in the 50’s this weekend made me hopeful that spring really is around the corner. Too bad we still have enough snow around to make it hard to even play in the yard with The Boy. Here’s a look at my winter in pictures.

Before winter even started, we had this lovely snow/ice storm in which our garage had a close call with branches from the neighbor’s tree.

While Daddy braved the ice to cut down the branches, The Boy got out his saw and went to work on his car.

I think he’s simply given up on ever being able to play in the yard again.

Just like it’s never too cold to go pantless, it’s never too cold for some cool shades.

This about sums up how The Boy feels about sleeping in his bed lately.

Lots of snow, but warm enough for some much-needed fresh air and sunshine.
