mom! dad! guess what?!?






it snowed!
it snowed!
it snowed!

saturday night we went to bed
& sunday morning when we woke up there was snow!
& it snowed all day
& we went out in it three times that day
all three ending in tears by our mr Q
cold & tired was he
but give him a couple hours, a couch, chocolate milk & his blankie
& he's ready for action again...

miss m of course
can't leave the house with out
at least one dolly
& a back pack full of treasures

(look at how hard the snow was coming down)

& there were the usual snow traditions
a new friend...

& some car trouble...all in all a great snow day...
in the end we had five inches!
that's huge for us!

plus
no school monday
(we had a pretty happy teacher when they announced it sunday night:)

& the best part for me today?
it is practically all melted!
i love the snow
L-O-V-E
but only a day or two...

i know that some of you out there
have so much snow
that you just throw your full soda cans out the door
& two minutes later
they are nice & cold
(hi colleen!
i can't believe you were at -43°C!)
(if you want to see
some beautiful snow pictures
click on colleen's name
really breathtaking stuff)
but i love every season
& weather situation in small doses
(except rain...
keep that coming)

happy melty snow day to you!
:)

Yeah! I am glad you posted snow pictures. Our "snow" was little more than a thin sheet of slush, so I was jealous to hear about all of yours. I am glad you and your kiddos got to enjoy it.

How did I miss this post??? Oh yeah, I think I was away. In fact I think I was on my way to see you. Well, Oregon anyway.) But even though it's WAY after the fact. YAY SNOW! Although now it's just about spring and I want to shout YAY DAFFODILS! Except that there is still snow and it was -32C this morning but ne'ertheless YAY SNOW! (It's that or cry.) ANYhoo. I love your snowman. And you are right about the soda cans and I love rain too and thank you for your pretty words and I'm glad it melted (the snow, not the words) and that is all. :)
