Snow - 2 times in one week...what are the odds?

What are the odds of snow twice in one week? I looked outside last Thursday afternoon and saw the most beautiful HUGE puffy snow flakes. You could stand there and watch them slowly fall to the ground. It was quite a sight. Cody was sleeping and the girls were at school so I sat here with Chloe and the cats and watched the snow piling up on the ground. I felt so bad for the teachers because I knew their day was pretty much in the bag. Do you remember that feeling as a kid seeing it snow and being stuck at school? Ashlyn left her classroom and called me on her phone at 2:30 and whispered if I would pick her up from school early? As much as I would of liked to, I told her that she would be home very soon and have plenty of time to play in the snow.The second - I mean the SECOND they walked in the door they were
out front ready to go! The snow was very 'wet' so they would
come in every 30 minutes for a fresh outfit and new gloves. I think I did 5 loads of laundry! They attempted to make a snow man but since the snow was so wet it was way to heavy to lift, so they ended up with just bottoms - no heads! I was able to get Cody out for a few minutes but he wasn't really all that thrilled with the whole snow event anyway. He would not wear gloves so the first time he fell and got his hands wet he was D-O-N-E!!! I handed him off to Dell and he got him in the nice warm bath. Finally, about 6:30 the girls decided to call it a day and come join Cody in the nice warm bath. It was a great day! Today - about a week later as I am typing this it should be about 85 degrees. What a difference a week makes. As much as I love the snow it will be nice to go outside in the warm sunshine and play.

What I am thankful for... nap time! I think every mom loves nap time. I absolutely adore my little man but I can happily put him in his bed every day for nap knowing that I will have 2-4 hours for some 'me' time. I need that time just to recharge for the next few hours before bedtime! I will be one sad mom when Cody decides he doesn't need a afternoon nap. Hopefully that will be a few years off!

Micah was waiting and waiting for the rain to turn to snow that day. Instead all we received down here was slushy rain. :(

Looks like your girls had fun!
