The Snowy Day

Last Thursday, the meteorologists got me all excited saying that this big winter storm was headed our way. We were put under a Winter Weather Warning - not a Watch, but an actual Warning! - and told to expect 5-9 inches of snow. I hoped - oh, how I hoped! - that it would be true! Normally when they make that kind of prediction, it snows for a while and we might get an inch to an inch-and-a-half, and then the sun comes out and it melts.

But not this time.

Oh, no. This time, the snow actually came. It started snowing late Friday afternoon. And it snowed. And it snowed. And it snowed some more. And on Saturday morning, I saw my boys doing this:



And when I looked outside, I saw this!!!







It was so beautiful! I was so excited for the kids to play in their first big snow! We bundled them up and took them up the hill to Mam and Pap's house to play.

Dakoda had a ball


But Sarah Kate was not a big fan of the cold


Daddy took them sledding






It didn't take long for Dakoda to decide that he would rather be inside playing ball and having a snack.


We have really enjoyed the beautiful snow... but we're REALLY glad that it doesn't happen often. ;)
