Boise in March

March is crazy in Boise. I don't know that I like its bi-polar behavior. Last week we had two snowy days, 2 sunny days, and 3 rainy days. My coat and jacket are getting confused as to who's turn it is to be worn everyday. My kids don't know if they should wear their hats and gloves or just stuff them in their backpacks. My umbrella is a champ during the rain, but it folds away in defeat during the strong winds (whether its raining or not). I don't know if I should dress the kids in cool summer jammies or warm winter jammies at night.

Anyway, on the sunny days the kids had a blast playing outside on our swing set and jumping on the trampoline, they even ate their after school snack of graham crackers and milk out on the patio one day. On the wintery days they had a blast building a snowman in the backyard and getting their shoes soaking wet. On the rainy days they stayed inside and played pretend. They can make the best of any weather. I on the other hand, get depressed on snowy days, slightly happier on rainy days, and downright giddy on sunny days. I can't wait for those snowy days to be gone completely. Rain and sun are very welcome (especially if the rain comes with thunder and lightening. My favorite!).

Anyway, here is Miss Ives on one of the sunny days after jumping on the trampoline with her brothers. They cracked up for several minutes over her hair. She's so cute.
