Work Zone! Hard Hats Required!

So for the last week or two we have had Spring like weather, I think it even reached plus 16 one day. We definitely took advantage of the sunshine and went for tons of walks and the kids played in the back yard lots!!! They would go out for an hour, get soaked, come back in, we would put their snowclothes in the dryer and as soon as they were dry they wanted to go back out again.
Because we have had sooo much snow already this winter we were experiencing a huge meltdown. The back yard was getting pretty icy from all the wear and tear the kids were doing, so we happily allowed them to wear their hockey helmets outside when they asked! I drew the line when Andrew asked if he could wear his skates to play hockey on the little ice patch on our cement pad.
Since these pictures were taken the temperature has dropped and today we experienced -21 with a windchill of -32. Yikes. Maybe we were too anxious for Spring too early!
