snow to spring

Well...Vermont obviously recognizes the coming of spring in a very different way my friends.  Today we are home and watching the snow fall...and fall...and fall.  By tomorrow there are estimates of 8-12 inches accumulation and I would say we are right on track for those numbers.  Needless to say we are taking advantage of the day to pull out some spring/easter decorations and spruce up the place.  I might even get around to taking down all the holiday cards today....

practicing our bean bag tossing skills

chick bean bags made by grammy last year (or maybe the year before?)

easter egg hunting has started

fresh snow

some of our favorite winter books we aren't ready to part with
and a few favorite spring books to get us ready for her coming

decorated blown eggs from last year

undecorated blown eggs from last year
i must have had some mama intuition because i'm not sure i'll have time to blow eggs this year!

i snuck away for a little felting craft
basically wrap a plastic easter egg in wool and felt with hot water & soap...
once it is dry I will carefully cut a small opening and hide a special easter surprise inside...

the kids loves throwing things...especially these blocks made by grammy!
Owen woke up with a low grade fever (hence the unzipped jammy look)
...most likely due to some molars pushing through!
