From Snow to Summer in Less than a Week

Wow - today was hot!! Over 80 degrees in Raleigh, North Carolina, just 5 days after we had our second snow. On Monday, kids in Wake County didn't have school due to snow and by Saturday we were wearing shorts and t-shirts while basking in the sun. It was a great day. After spending the entire weekend stuck inside due to torrential downpours all day on Saturday and Sunday, it felt great to be outside today. We ran some errands - the errands that we didn't do last weekend due to the rain. We went to the Farmer's Market to buy some fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables and we spent several hours cleaning up our backyard. We even grilled hamburgers as our official start to "grillin' season". Our preschoolers love any day that is not a school day. While we were working on raking leaves in on big hill in he backyard, they found some old baby ride-on toys and were taking them down the hill at warp speed. It looked like a lot of fun, although it had the potential of being somewhat dangerous. Anyway, that's all I have for today. Due to the great weather, I'm beat.
