Say it ain't snow..

The days have been mild and warm, with high temperatures in the 50's.  A Chicago January usually has us huddled indoors but not this year. The grass is still green with birds flying above, all with the promise that spring is right around the corner, right?
We know that couldn't possibly be the truth, but while this spring like weather is here, we have been treasuring the moments of warmth and sunshine, heading to parks and playing in our back yard, knowing that this is all too good to last.  We have definitely been enjoying it while we can.

Climbing up ladders, taking rides down the slides, watching the planes and helicopters and birds fly above, prompting intermittent glees of delight.


"mommy...pane, pane!"  


"mommy..bird..birdies tweet tweet."











Park stops right after school gets out with the sun in all it's beauty.

And neighborhood walks with Cassidy.

BUT....tomorrow the warmth is exiting and we are apparently going to wake up to our first winter storm day.  Say it isn't snow?????
I think I'll go hide..

Just kidding!!!  In reality, these two kidlets can't wait to see a bunch of that white stuff....adorn the coats, hats, scarfs and mittens and rush out and play to their hearts delight.
"It's going to snow all day tomorrow...yea!!!!"...they both excitedly cheered.  "Snow. All. Day. Mommy!"    "We can go out and play and then come in and have hot chocolate, with marshmallows, and a candy cane, right?"  So instead of hiding they are welcoming the change of seasons.

But then the snow can leave and bring back these wonderful spring like days, ok??


(Christmas photos still coming...very soon!!!)
