March 10-16

 The snow that came in on Sunday caught me unaware and without milk, eggs or bread so we made an evening run to the store but first, Joe and I scooped the driveway while the kids watched from back of the truck. The drive was reminiscent of a ski town, big flakes, not many cars and none of the roads cleared. Court and Luca got to see several tractors with blades pushing snow up close at the grocery store, pretty exciting!

 
When the church parking lot across the street gets cleared, we end up with a long row of snow "mountains" for the neighborhood to rule. Court and Luca toured some of the caves created by the big kids.

Avocado! Funny, when I tried putting it on sandwiches, serving guacamole dip or topping an enchilada with a few slices, the kids wouldn't touch it. But when I slice one in half, sprinkle it with salt and pepper and try and eat it as my lunch, suddenly Luca and Court can't get enough. I'm going to try this method with spinach next.

Court's name for Luca is "Lula", it's pretty cute.


 You should have seen Court's face when I rolled open the sunroof while we were tooling around town, he obviously didn't know such a thing existed. And now, he wants me to open it every time we get in the truck.

 Short sleeves and snow!

I had a picture of a little trellis that I showed Joe in hopes he could construct something similar so that I can grow some squash this summer. My hubby took my little plan and turned it into a true arbor. Can't wait to start planting!

Cuties! We missed Lincoln's last snow storm (which was fine, I think I'm over winter by now). LOVE the arbor Joe built and I can't wait to see what it looks like covered with vines this summer!!
