Let It Snow!













Wow...it is March right? We have seen the possibility of snow for the forecast for weeks, but we didn't get our hopes up. So...this time would it really happen! Indeed it did! Yesterday afternoon it began coming down and continued through the night.












We woke up to a beautiful blanket of snow everywhere! Benjamin was so excited! He would not let up asking if he could put on his coat and go outside to play. Emily was not too sure of it. We put Benjamin's shoes on her since they were big enough to fit over her pyjama feet and Jason put her in the middle of it. She didn't move! It was too funny.








We came inside since the kiddos have been sick with a nasty cough and runny nose, but Benjamin was not all that happy with the plan. He looked out of the window and let out a shriek " Uh oh, the snow is melting!" He knew he did not have much time left. He wanted to play in the snow. So, Mommy got a plate and filled it up with snow so he could play with it! He grabbed Thomas and played for the longest time. I refilled the plate with new snow as needed. We then went for a ride and looked at the snow before the sun melted it away.

And of course how could we forget, the Myrtle Snowman!
