goodbye winter? hello spring?

Yesterday was the last day of winter, but the weather was nice enough that I was able to take the children on an outing to the zoo yesterday morning. it was a bit chilly, but not too terrible, and it was lovely to be out in the fresh air. Today is the first day of spring. It began snowing sometime in the night, and it has snowed all day long. There are about six inches on the ground, and more to come. Have I mentioned how much I dislike the weather in Missouri?

snow-day outing

A local nursery (Family Tree Nursery in Overland Park) had an "Open House" this weekend with all sorts of fun, free activities for Children, including a petting zoo, a balloon artist, an "airbrush tattoo" artist, bead bracelet making, pot-your-own plant, popcorn, doughnuts, and much more. James and Lucy had a ball, and it almost made us forget about the snow coming down outside! We've had about six inches, and it's still snowing! On the first day of Spring.
