60's in January

So we set a record high yesterday here in Des Moines - 65 balmy, sunny degrees!!!  UNBELIEVABLE!!!  The kids and I walked to the park - Mia on her bike and Sam in the wagon.  It was flooded with kids out enjoying this spring-like weather in January!

Today is another 60 degree day and the sun even feels hot!  Sam stripped his jacket off and Mia hiked up her pants to beat the heat --- awesome!!!

Nate has been traveling a lot this month, in Germany 2 weeks ago and most recently Orlando.  Not being buried under feet of snow or having sub-zero temps has really eased my time at home alone with the kids!!  Thank you, weather gods!!

Mia & Lillie

Sam of course found the one last remaining patch of snow to play in!

 Good thing it was warm again today - Mia wiped out in the mud after preschool, so I had to strip her down to get her home!
