Snow

It snowed on spring break! That’s not supposed to happen!

Well, spring break is winding down, and it’s been a fairly uneventful week.  We did manage to clean my daughter’s room, meet some friends at the Discovery Place, and run a few errands.

Mostly we just stayed home and spent some time together as a family.  It rained all week, so we were stuck inside.  Late Tuesday afternoon I thought about planting a few seeds in my garden, because the sun was out briefly.  I missed the opportunity though, and it’s a good thing I did.  Yesterday it snowed.  Yes, it snowed at the end of March.  I’m so ready for warmer weather!

One last note…I’m doing another book giveaway at Lynnae’s Bookshelf!  This one is a Christian suspense novel, so if that’s your kind of book, go leave a comment here!

Have a great Saturday!  I’m hoping the weather clears up for a while, so we can get out of the house!
