fool me once

This spring has not been pretty. We have been tricked several times into thinking nice weather had finally fallen upon us, only to learn that we had been fooled when cold temps and snow flurries returned. This past week we had some beautiful weather and we thought FINALLY! Spring as sprung! But we were fooled again. This weekend has been filled with cold temps, gale-like winds and snow flurries (that's right, snow flurries). And as a certain wise man once said: "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." Oh wait, I think it goes something like that.




We luckily caught one of the nice days last week when we went over to the Vreeman's for a playdate. After Bergen and Alyssa couldn't be contained indoors anymore, we hit the back yard to play on their swing set. The older kiddos even got out the sled to pull each other around (which didn't work all that well). The highlight for Bergen was getting to build sand castles with Alyssa. The Vreemans are lucky to live ON the great Mississippi (how awesome is that?) so all they have to do is cross the street to lounge in the sand and enjoy the water. Annika wasn't too sure what to think of the sand, but hopefully she took some notes from Addison who was having a blast.




























Annika doesn't get to see animals too often so she was very excited to see the Vreeman's dog and cats. Anytime she caught sight of a cat she would begin to clap and she also had a stare down with their dog who was patiently waiting outside to come in. She loves animals. . . hmmmm, wonder where she gets that from? Thanks for a fun day Vreemans!!
