Well, "they" said we would get snow....and we did! It started snowing after midnight and we got what I would call a "light covering." It is 9:30 on Sunday morning, March 1st (!!) and it is snowing again...little flakes...and it is COLD....32 degrees F. The kids are running around all excited and of course, they want to bundle up and get out there so they can get soggy wet. (grin) We have not had measurable snow in our area (again "they" say) in 9 years! We had temps recently in the 70s and so this is amazing to us. You know when the weather man is on television continuously in our area, something is going on! The roads don't have snow on them, but they have closed portions of the interstate because of ice and accidents. We are supposed to have temps in the 20s tonight, so things should freeze up again. Tomorrow, you probably won't be able to tell that we had snow at all, so today we will enjoy our "winter wonderland."
We got dressed quickly and headed outside to the sounds of children's laughter as other neighborhood kids were running all around playing in the snow. After a few pictures, our kids dove right in and started hurling snowballs at each other...and us! Gloves got wet quickly and so did feet, since we are not that prepared for snow with boots and the proper kind of gloves. No matter...play anyway!! Squealing and full of mischief, the kids had a blast! Jasper and I loved watching them, taking pics and shooting some video. They tried to make a snowman and got some big balls of snow stacked up, but the poor guy was dirty with pine needles poking out everywhere. He never got eyes or a nose, but oh well...the rolling was the fun part. I would say we got about an inch total maybe a little more where it had blown. Now the sun has come out and most of the snow has melted away. We had fun while it lasted and the hot chocolate and eggnog scones we consumed when we went inside were the perfect tasty treats to warm us up...and a great ending to our snowy adventure!!

Love the pics .... yikes snow on the Magnolia .... that is too much ... and the hat does not look like a magnolia flower to me
This is the kind of snow days we have here in Texas - when we have any. Short, but fun. Did school meet today? I much prefer the snow than the ice. We've really not had either this year, but have had some really cold days - 28 this morning when I went to work!
Love the pictures!

Hey Lisa! Yes, the snow was fun! It has been years and years since we have had this much snow. It was pretty much gone by late afternoon on Sunday and the kids did go to school on Monday. Although, it was REALLY cold that day! Glad you like the pics. It was good to talk to William on his birthday. Hope you are doing well.
