So winter showed up today

The title about says it all.  After months with only a trace a snow we finally got a significant amount.  The rain came first and then froze creating a nice layer of ice to hide under the snow that was supposed to come.  Ick.  The ice on the trees last night was beautiful and I wanted to get a picture but that whole have to protect my camera from the sleety (yep, it's a word) rain, have to put shoes on, have to go outside thing, stopped me.  Then this morning I wanted to grab my big girl camera on the way to work but I had to be to work by 6:30 and my children were not cooperating.  Enter smart phone.  I took a couple on a short break at work.  Enjoying this phone more than my "not so smart" phone as I used to call it.  Still jealous of the instagram though.  :)

More About the Weather

Talking about the weather as much as I have been these past few days makes me feel like my grandma.  Weather is always a hot topic with the senior crowd.  :)

Just thought that I would share that this weather is making me feel like this:

 

It's making the boys feel like this:

Heard that tomorrow is supposed to be the last of the super hot days.  I hope so.  We're looking forward to getting back to this:

Stay cool!  :)

Hot Days and Mosquito Bite Randomness

One day (not too long ago) it was nice enough to lay out in the sun.  To check out my pedicure against the clear blue sky.

Pretty sure it's time to go those piggies repainted.  Please refrain from commenting about my stunted little toe, I might get a complex or something.  Going right along with that feel free to also keep any comments about how spread apart my toes are to yourself.  I see the looks I get when I go in for a pedicure and they don't even have to use those toe separator thingies.  Back to the topic at hand -- is there a topic?

Do you see how I can just lay there?  It was that one nice summer weekend we had -- you know, the one between the cold and rainy weekend and the stifling humid one.  What we Minnesotans call summer.  One perfect temperature weekend.  Ugh.  Hope that we can have some more. 

Had to make this one big so you could hopefully see his cheek -- what the heck?  Big and swollen.  What is in these Minnesota mosquitos that makes my baby blow up like this.  We had this ear incident:

 

Then the cheek from above and now we're onto his foot.  Ugh.  Anybody have any good ideas for this?

Randomness but it's what's on my mind right now.

Spring Has Sprung??

I'm pretty sure I was wearing a winter coat last week and then I turned my air conditioning on yesterday.  Only in Minnesota, right?  I think spring is here.  Or is it?  I could go right back to the big coat or deal with the flip side of over 80 degrees with high humidity.  Whichever it is we've chosen to take advantage of the nice days we've been having.  This past Friday we went to April's house to go on a walk with the dogs.  We then had an impromptu barbeque dinner in the backyard and played with the footballs.  Super night!

Look -- we got to break out the shorts!  Those are some white legs.

Bugs, bugs, bugs!  Looking for and squishing ants.

MY LOVES!
