Ummm...can you say SNOW?! I think *officially* (as in at DFW Airport) we have about 7 inches of snow on the ground. In Texas. That's right. And there's more to come tonight.
Our day started off with a 7:30 a.m. snowball fight...cuz that's how we roll! :-) Of course a couple firsts happened in the snow today. Shelby made her first snow angel (awwwwe!) and Ben..well Ben made his first yellow snow. Twice. Before school AND after. Thanks to Dad's mentioning it first thing this morning about being careful not to eat the yellow snow. And let me tell you, Ben thought it was the funniest thing (as did I!).
Then I decided I should probably pick the kids up a little early from school. Partly to miss what would inevitably be an endless carpool line and partly because, well...these moments come far-and-few between. We NEVER get this much snow and I wanted to make some memories. It's only right. Right? Right.
There are those big memories we make during significant events in our lives and then there are these little ones. These too all - add - up. I can hear it now. Ten or 20 years down the road, "Do you remember the time it snowed over 10" and you got us out early from school? Then we had snowball fights, built a big snowman, made snow angels and yellow snow?! Twice! That was great." And I'll agree with a huge smile and bring out the pictures. Cuz you know I took a ridiculous amount! But not of the yellow snow.
Here's a sampling...
God how I love these kiddos! How could you not? Just look at 'em!
Thank you Mother Nature for the amazing snow.
