Snow Day!!

Late Sunday night it started snowing at our house!!! Rachel had really been hoping for some snow so they could have a snow day off from school. She sure got her wish!! The flakes were big and wet. We got about four inches. It was beautiful!!

I went out at about midnight to take these pictures....I was really excited for the snow too!! I put out some Christmas lights for the first time this year and thought they would look just perfect with the snow.
The kids were eager to go out and play in the snow first thing in the morning. Kate had spent the weekend with my parents, so she got to play in the snow in Snyder. I sure did miss her not being here with us to play in the snow.
Wade was less than thrilled about all the snow. He pretty much screamed the whole time he was out. I think his whole problem was the hat, gloves, and coat I made him wear....too much. He was so mad!!!


Snow angels....of course.
Kate asked me to make her a snowman. We named her Kate.

Wade came out to meet our snowgirl...notice I did not make him wear his snow clothes and he is not screaming.

The neighbors came over to enjoy the snow with the kids.

In the afternoon we met my parents in Big Spring and got our Kate back!! Yay!! I had to get her picture in the snow too.
We stopped at a park so the kids could play before Rachel's piano lessons.
Looks like they were having fun. Wade and I were warm and cozy in the car.

Yay for snow days!! Snow days are unexpected days we have to play. It was so much fun! I even heard Luke tell Rachel, "It was fun today." This made me so happy to hear.
