Watching the snow melt is a wonderful feeling, it means that spring is on it's way. We have been loving the warm weather the last couple of days. Saturday and Sunday were both in the high 50's, so we were outside mostly all day. Caden loved jumping in the puddles of melting snow, along with not having to wear a hat or scarf or heavy coat. Yesterday was nice, but a little cooler. But still amazing weather for February. After this week of sunshine our snow should be all gone. Seeing the grass again is nice, but I think Cade's favorite thing is seeing the dirt. He's been trying to convince me to get the garden shovels and trowels out. Can you tell he remembers the garden and all the fun he had digging in the dirt?!

Oh what fun he had jumping and splashing in the water! His shoes were soaked and pants wet. Do you remember the last time you were this care free?

We even enjoyed a bowl of ice cream outside. Mmm..

Only if my little man could be sleeping like this now.

or even this...

It would make this Mama very happy. I need my little naps, otherwise I fall asleep early and leave my hubby to have the night by himself. When I say early I mean not much later after we put Caden to bed.

 But wait, what is this I hear? Silence? No toys, no talking, no nothing? Hmm...maybe he finally gave in! : ) It only took 2 hours. Wish me luck, hopefully it will last long enough for me to get a rest in.

Don't you wish that you had this much fun shoveling snow?

Scooping and dumping

He was so excited that he was finally able to fit into his car to drive, it took him a while to figure out how to get in with his snow suit on. But he was so determined to get in. Daddy ended helping him in the end.

What a happy face.

Obviously this was this week, before the snow came. We were lucky to have nice weather to be able to play outside for a longer period of time. I do have to say that we are looking forward to spring. : )
