April snow brings May.....showers??

Here we go again. I have to say that there are many people who a) Are extremely ready for warm weather and are very bothered by the snow, or b) Hate the snow in any situation and wish it would go away. I would say that I do not fall into either category. I freaking love the snow...even in April, and I am proud to say that I have a daughter that loves it just as much. As soon as she sees the snow, she is screaming and laughing and has to call Grandma to let her know that it is snowing at HER house. She gets herself dressed to go outside and demands that we go sledding. It's AWESOME.

Don't get me wrong. I am very ready for a nice warm summer day. I can't wait to not be cold....BUT I will enjoy a little April snow when it happens. I mean really--how often does this happen??

So, for the stats: We got 6". (I know for sure because I measured with a ruler!!)

More on the snow...

I was driving through the neighborhood across the street and realized how much I love cherry trees. Sam and I planted one at our old house and then MOVED. We were both really sad about it. I love this street when it is in bloom....BUT the snow really did some damage. Seems like all the cherry trees had trouble surviving this snowstorm.

And of course, here's some pics of the family at the mall. Zach is our aggressive little fighter. I caught him right in the middle of a punch. Isn't that great???

Snow in APRIL in SEATTLE!

Okay, so it was actually the end of March, but it's pretty much the same thing! It was awesome, though. Friday the 29th, it snowed pretty much from 12 noon until the evening. Softball was cancelled, so Sam, Will, and I went up skiing. The snow was AWESOME. Saturday, as we were starting to think about driving to Burien, a torrential HAIL storm started. Rachel and I were shocked. It was crazy. When we left, the roads were covered with snow and hail, although, very wet snow. By the time we got home--around 12 midnight--we had about 4 inches. The kids were loving it. Abby has to call Grandma everytime she sees snow to let her know, she took Zach sledding on the back deck....and she LOVES to throw snowballs. So, here are some pictures that I'm not lying. It actually snowed in Seattle at the end of March....kind of like April.
