Another Snow Day....YAY!!

Midland finally got some snow. The rest of the state of Texas has been covered in several of inches of snow several times this winter. We have really been feeling left out, but this morning we woke up to a beautiful blanket of snow. There was about 4 inches of snow!! School was cancelled!! The kids got up early and excited about the snow and no school. We ate our breakfast and got ready to head out to play. It as still snowing and cloudy but lots of fun!!


Our photographer....Chris got to be home with us too. He held the camera so nobody could throw snowballs at him.
Luke nailed me right in the face with a snowball....Chris managed to get a picture of it.

Kate loved throwing snowballs too....she would laugh each time.
Katybug covered in snow.
Here is my leaning snowman. This was my second attempt. The first one was taller than me, but he fell over on me when I was fixing his face. I guess that is kind of like the fish that got away, but Chris and Luke were my witnesses. I guess I need to learn to build a better base on level ground.

We also made some snow ice cream. It was really good!! I got too much sugar in it because I can not read a recipe, but the kids did not complain.

The snow is already melting....that is the thing about snow around here it never stays long :(

Looks like y'all had a blast! I love days like these. It snowed here too, but not as much as y'all got. It wasn't even enough to play in. But we did all stay home and have lots of family time. I would make fun of Chris holding the camera to stay out of the way of flying snow balls...but that is exactly why I hold the camera! Who knew...Chris and I have something in common.
