The Sunny Weekend that Wasn’t

Koskelantiespring

Isn't it amazing when the first spring sun comes out it feels like it will be out forever? The sun of Thursday and Friday completely ditched us for clouds and rain on Saturday and Sunday. Today it's even snowing. How Rude!

Nashville rain

We had planned an entire outdoor weekend with tours of Vanderbilt for dad, walking around Nashville, going to Grassmere and seeing the zoo, walking around various plantation houses. Instead we got our windy walk through Vanderbilt University and a walk through Old Nashville and then it was duck and miss for the rest of the trip. Mostly bookstores, the Grand-Ole Opry Mall, an eating adventure in a Rainforest where it actually rains on you inside the restaurant. Why didn't we just stay outside for that? And of course we visited many cafes. All in all it was still a fun trip with my little family.

I really love family car talk. There are so many fun things to be discussed and great music to share. It's a moment which is all ours and the world can't come in.   

Now it is Monday and can you believe it is snowing? Clearly we are having the tempermental weather of spring. Seeing it snow this morning reminded me of this great book I use to read to the girls. You can find it over at Jump Into A Book.

Now with all of the cold and dreary weather it's time for a little creativity. It's String a-long Monday and I'm re-bagging. I spent yesterday evening starting to make my grocery store plastic bag yarn for my next take along grocery store bag. The yarn takes a bit to make but the final product is so fun. I can hardly wait to show you.
