What a Difference a Day Makes

On Thursday and Friday we were outside every chance we could get...and it's a good thing too! Because...this is Nebraska...and one thing is certain...if you don't like the weather, just wait a minute because it's going to change. And, this weekend it did! Thursday was absolutely beautiful. These pictures were taken Thursday when we went outside early in the morning and painted rocks with watercolors...which eventually lead to painting each other with watercolors. The kids played on the swingset, dug in the sandbox (looks like Sawyer may have tried to bury his head in the sand), rode bikes, dug up some weeds, trimmed some plants, discovered where a rabbit(s) had made its burrow all winter and started ruining some of our landscaping, ate popsicles, sweated, rolled down the hill, ate lunch in the shade of the fence and just had an all around great time being outside. We didn't head in until mid-afternoon when we HAD to take baths before taking naps. It was a GREAT day!

Then, came yesterday where the high was at least 35 degrees cooler than Friday. I had to get the already (once-again) washed winter coats out. It spit rain and blew wind. It was just yucky.

Today the temps aren't horrible, but it's raining (which we desperately need so can't complain about) so the kids have been playing outside collecting worms with Matt in between showers. I thought it would be good to post the warm pictures in hopes of what is to come...again. :-)

Enjoy your week!
