There isn't a whole of narration to add to this post. The pictures sort of say it all.
In the middle of March, we got one of our better snow storms of the year. It wasn't great - a year ago in April I think we got 18" or so, and this was only about six. But this was enough for my big kids to get the urge to go and play - they went digging through the bins of winter wear to find boots and gaters and started on a fort.
It turns out that when your big grown up adult kids do things that they used to do when they were little, it's extra adorable. Troy and I kept peeking out the back window to check on their progress and it made us smile to see them working together out there.
Emma was not interested in participating, but she made them her special hot cocoa when they finally came inside to warm up. The fort was only half way done, and they swore they would get back to it the next day. It was no surprise, however, that regular life took over and the fort was left to melt away in the sun as the spring weather came back like it always does in March.
