THE NITTY GRITTY
HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Colorado weather.

DateSunday, April 3, 2011 at 01:42PM

Yesterday, it was about 80 degrees and sunny. The boys had a water fight in the front yard. They had a blast. (Nathan did not. It was also windy.) Today, this is what I saw when I looked in the back yard:

Yes. Two of them are shirtless. It's what they do. They were also barefoot until I made them put Crocs on. Boys.

A few more shots...

Noah tried to start a snowball fight (which I thought ironic given yesterday's activity) but the other two were too cold by that point. ;) Asher did, though, venture down the snow covered slide (having run back inside to grab a shirt at least). And, I have no idea why, but Micah felt it necessary to cover his eyes while trying to catch snowflakes on his tongue. Weird.

I love that even though you're in Colorado, they're still ticked by the snowfall. :) I'm in CO too and yesterday's weather was such a tease...it was SO gorgeous and I was totally bummed to wake up to such cold weather and snow. But I know we need it.
