Snow in May!

Last Friday we woke up to the ground covered in snow! It was crazy and the first time there's ever been snow in May in Arkansas. I think this is the first year that I've been really ready for warm weather to get here -- winter has just hung on forever this year. The kids popped up out of bed that morning to see it. We knew that it wouldn't be enough to miss school, but we were all excited to see that snow anyways! It was just wild because 2 days earlier I'd sent the kids to school in shorts and tank tops! Crazy Arkansas weather!!

 It was pretty much all melted by mid-morning since temps were well above freezing which worked out well since Charlotte and I were planning to have lunch with the kids that day at school. Our school does a farm-to-school lunch once each year. They have lunch made from all local products and teach them about where their food usually comes from (i.e. all over the country) and where it can come from if they buy local. This day they had burgers from a local beef farm (that's going to be the new supplier of all the district's beef next year -- yay!), buns baked at a local bakery, salad/veggies from a local farm, sweet potato fries made from a local farm and strawberry milkshakes from a local dairy. It was so yummy!

We had lunch with Harrison then had lunch with Madeleine. I had to stay and do a little project for Teacher Apprec week (the next week) and then we checked them out early and headed home to start our weekend a bit early. There were a ton of parents there that day and we loved getting to eat lunch with both bubba and sissy! Charlotte is quite at home up there and all the kids in Madeleine's class just love her -- they remember her from when she was just a baby back when they were all in kindergarten.
