Well northeast Ohio was hit again by a spring snow. It’s beautiful but it’s April 21 and I’m over it!
I am grateful for power. Lots of trees down and thousands without power!
Spring Snow

April is actin a fool!
What on earth? Is that snow on April 1?
It appears Mother Nature is a jokester and she’s enjoying April fools day a little too much! About 2” of snow today and then the temps will be going back up into the 60’s!
Nanny Fun!
This was the first craft that all 3 kids could participate in. We made a few adaptations for each kid based on their skills but overall they did the same activity. It was fun, but simple, and we love decorating the house!
We also stopped by the park to see if we could find any “signs” of spring. You see yesterday it was warm and in the mid 50’s and today is was snowing and in the low 30’s. We are soooo ready for spring. Here are some things we found that made us confident spring is just around the corner 😉
It’s a snow shark!!!!
How cute is this shark in someone’s front yard? Children from around the neighborhood all came together to make a snow shark. Not only is it amazing, but it makes me so happy to know children worked together, OUTSIDE, and used their imaginations!!!!!
Things I’ve learned about ice fishing!
* a pink rod is a must….you might not catch more fish but you will look super cute
*a lot of women and children ice fish…..more than i see during the summer
* sharp blades and the correct size blades on an auger make drilling a hole much easier…..also let the boys do that because their shoulders burn the next day 😂
*you must be willing to pee in a bucket
*you are sitting for long periods of time, so bring some snacks!
Tonight’s waxing crescent moon!
seagulls
There is something so calming about watching seagulls flying over Lake Erie. Some people refer to them as lake rats, but i think they are beautiful! Today we saw dozens of them while we were ice fishing!
Ice fishing
Today i tried ice fishing. John has been ice fishing many times, but this was a new adventure for me. Wow it was really fun. When he asked me if i wanted to go i said “yes but I’m scared!” That feeling didn’t change until i was walking up to the ice. I couldn’t believe how many people were on the ice. There were men, woman and children everywhere. I immediately felt so much better. I also felt so much better when i looked in the hole and saw just how thick the ice actually was. Overall it was an amazing adventure and i knew i was in good hands. I look forward to doing it again. Honestly this is my idea of a fun weekend and i truly enjoy doing outdoor activities with my husband! ‘
Snowy day
Another snowy morning. There is something so beautiful about waking up to everything covered in white. The sun is shining and everything looks as though it is covered in glitter. That excitement ends quickly when i realize i need to leave the house and go outside in the cold.
Winter in Ohio
Remember when we were kids and snow was so exciting? Snowball fights. Snow forts. Snowmen. All such amazing memories. Now i get to watch the joy in children’s eyes as they play outside in the snow. I don’t enjoy the cold or the snow, but i embrace it! How many more weeks until summer??????
