Snow in April!

Of course, snow in April should not be surprising when you've lived in the Chicago area your whole life. But it was still bizarre to wake up two weeks ago Wednesday morning and see snow that had stuck! It snowed lightly most of the day and was generally chilly, slushy, and yucky :). However, the kids did get out to play in the afternoon, and it was surprisingly good snow for making snowpeople. Here are pictures of Hannah and Ethan enjoying the snow--
ready to throw snowballs at Mommy; Ethan with his "snow dinosaur" and Hannah with her snow girl. Hannah held her snowgirl's "hand" (stick) for one picture.
