What a difference a week makes!

It wasn't just my imagination or complaining, it was an "old fashioned" winter.  Our last snowstorm arrived  a week ago Wednesday and Thursday (April 16 and 17th) with 18 inches of wet snow.  Our area received a record snowfall this past winter.  We received 120.4 inches of snow.  The previous record was set in 1898-1899 when 95.5 inches was recorded.  We blew away the record by 25 inches!  No wonder we had 8 snow days and two early release days!  That is a record also.

I had the kids for the snow day from school on April 17th. It saves them having to ride 35 minutes to daycare on bad roads.








These were taken today. Colby's first time big enough to climb the slide by himself!  He loved it!  Wouldn't let me turn him around to go down.  Simply climbed up and turned around to go down backward!

















It has been crazy at school the past month.  It won't end for several weeks.   I have started a Wisconsin Badger lap quilt for a friend at school who is retiring this spring. 

God Bless,
Linda

WOW that was a lot of snow... Looks like the Grandkids enjoyed their snow day at your place. Much better than daycare..
How cute is the wee one going down the slide backwards...
Our kids have been on holidays and go back next week.

I'm happy to see the ground has finally shown up for you folks. The snowfall count is incredible! We have had one of our driest, warmer winters, which can mean a scorcher of a summer to come...oh, well.
School is crazy for us, too, I've spent 3 different days of our Easter break down at school to get ready for Open House on May 1, and we wonder why summer is such a treat ~
