Spring's Dirty Little Secret

Yes, Winter, I realize that you have not yet relinquished your hold over us, but I do thank you for taking a wee break and allowing Spring's warmer temperatures to invade the area even if it is only temporary. Of course, that means Spring's dirty little secret has come to light once again - as much as I love being able to go outdoors sans winter coat (but wearing fingerless mitts and a cowl of course!) the whole melting snow process is just plain filthy.

Since the daylight was staring to fade, the hubby and I thought it would be a good idea to let the minions enjoy a bit of fresh air and run around a bit. There were snowballs... naturally...

And then the minions discovered how fun it was to unearth boulders of snow and throw them into the ever-growing puddle of funk that is currently lounging in our driveway.

The hubby was not about to be outsplashed...

This picture is a bit blurry and I have no idea what just happened, but it must've been good!

In an attempt to provide some sort of color to the post, this is little man's new earflap hat (though I have no idea why the earflap is folding in like that)

and you can feast your eyes on the "stuff" that can be found on our fence :)

Also, I have no idea what is going on with Flickr at the moment but I will try to re-upload some of the photos tomorrow in an attempt to have them displayed correctly.

Wasn't the weather this weekend amazing?! Aaaaah. If I hadn't been so prudent, I would have donned a swim suit and laid out on the south side of the house. mmmmmmmmm
