Snow!

We got a significant amount of real snow at our house! Now, I know those of you that live where it snows all the time think we Texans are crazy for getting excited over such a small amount, but when you never ever see it, it is fun to get out and play in it a little (and even better if it leads to getting out of work!). We only had about 1-2 inches at our place but it was enough to stick and play in. Sure enough, but the next day the sun was shining again and it was probably about 60 degrees (people had been wearing shorts the day or two before the snow--typical Texas weather=unpredictable).

Noah had fun with it. He keeps talking about "throwing snow" and will wave his arms like he's throwing snow balls. He knocked down Mike's minature snow man and was in hysterics laughing over that. Mike also got big laughs out of him by throwing giant piles of snow against the fence. Noah woke up the next morning and the first thing he wanted to do was go to the window to see the snow. Every once in a while he'll still walk over to the window and say "where snow, mama?" then answer his own question "snow melted. bye bye snow. bye bye ice. ice melted too." So cute.

We enjoyed it while it was here and really aren't that disappointed that it's gone. Afterall, it is Texas. We wouldn't know what to do with ourselves if it stayed around all the time!
