Snow is a Novelty Around Here
March 5, 2009
We are not used to snow in these parts. Earlier this week we were pretty surprised with the snow flurries coming down. We got all the kids out of the car at Walmart just to walk through the flurries. We were not sure they would last longer than a few minutes, surely they wouldn’t collect on the ground.
When we got out of Walmart, it was still coming down, but as we thought, it wasn’t sticking to the ground. After we got home, we put the girls down for a nap. I went to bum some sweetened condensed milk from a friend because I was too lazy to go back to the store. (I was making the best banana pudding ever!).
I looked out the window while I was beating my cream cheese and it was snowing like crazy. We went and woke the kids up. It was their first time to see and play in snow and I was not about to let them sleep through it. K was really excited about playing and wasn’t taking a nap anyway.
The other two were pretty cranky and didn’t really care about the snow after all. I don’t think they knew what to do with it. We went out for a bit and I went back in and put the two little ones back to bed-they actually went back to sleep!
K and I spent the next bit building a snowman and having snowball fights. It was a great afternoon. We topped it off with her drinking some hot chocolate and I got back to making that banana pudding.
The snow was gone the next day and it’s back up to 70 degrees around here. That’s my kind of winter!
Catching snowflakes
I just love this picture of her. She was having so much fun!
I even took pictures of them in the parking lot, just so we had snow pics!
Ready to go finish that nap.

I love that third to last shot — she’s trying SO hard!
Glad to see that someone is still exited by snow!

Fabulous captures!! You take some amazing photos! The kids are adorable and I am so glad you had the chance to play in it. I would be the same way; “wake up kids”! lol!

Love those shots! Snow is more fun when it comes rarely!

Ugh. Wouldn’t it be nice not to have snow for once.
Actually..our winter wasn’t that bad this year. Probably one more snow storm for us. Great shots here! Your kids are adorable!

We don’t get too much snow either. But seeing the flakes starting to fall we did the catching snow flakes too
it’s a little tricky to catch them on your tongue though…

Lots of fun! We moved away from the snow for a while, and I am hoping my kids don’t forget what it looks like!

Snow is fun if is a novelty and not a reality!
