Soccer in the snow.

The boys were able to finally play outside for hours yesterday. The weather was beautiful. Snow in the morning with clear, sunny skies in the afternoon.
They made snow castles with an old bucket and blew bubbles through an old pipe in the big mud puddle which they called their pond, they threw snow balls and made forts, they pulled each other on their sled and made wonderful wandering tracks and trails all about the yard.
I finally ventured out in mid afternoon to capture some pictures and was amazed at the warmth. I love this... gives me hope for spring, it does.
