Thaw

We hit 60 degrees today! Finally a little heat wave to melt some of the snow.

Heading outdoors without a snowsuit on

Traded in the snow boots for rain boots

She's a little excited

The "ice rink" covering the driveway is almost gone!

Look who stopped by today?

Grandma and Grandpa Olson stopped by and brought an old photo album filled with pictures of the Olson and Chanin family. Evelyn loved seeing pictures of her daddy, uncle and aunt when they were little and wedding pictures of her grandma and grandpa. She could listen to stories from the past for hours and hours. 

Stir crazy

It happens every year. Typically in March. When we have had enough winter and just want the cold and snow to go away. Sick and tired of being indoors. We go stir crazy.  This year is no different. It feels like the girls have been stir crazy for weeks and we just aren't getting a break from winter. Lots of energy and no outlet. Refusing naps. It's bad. Here are a few pictures of the girls during the past few crazy weeks trying to get through the rest of winter stuck inside.

Climbing into bed together instead of napping

Reading the same books for the 100th time

Bringing all the toys in sight into bed with them

Lots of dancing

Lining books up right before walking and jumping on them

Little oasis

Como Park Conservatory is our little oasis in the winter. We retreated there today for a much needed dose of warmth and greenery.

This is Evelyn

Oh how we love this girl. All dressed up with everywhere to go. This is Evelyn.
