snow storm?

Well, I think that that might have been one of the most anti-climatic snow storms that I have ever witnessed. Yes, we got snow. No, I don't know how much. I think that we had about four inches on the drive this morning but I wouldn't hold myself to those numbers. It was hard to even measure since the snow was so wet and heavy. Beautiful packing snow but not so much fun to shovel.

This was our first good "snow" though this year. You know the kind (if you are from the area)... perfect for snowballs, great for shaping your forts or snowmen, a real pain to shovel or move... The perfect kind of snow if you have little  ones that cannot wait to do some "real" winter fun.

Frosty the snowman

Our poor Frosty didn't fare as well as SweetPea hoped though. First, we lacked coal or even little rocks for Frosty's eyes. I tried to tell her that we could make snow eyes but she remained pretty upset that our snowman wouldn't be able to see. We did have a carrot for his nose but PorkChop was pretty intent that that was for his eating pleasure. I finally broke it in half and made sure that each deserving "person" could get some but PorkChop then just happily ran off with both pieces. We also couldn't get our gate to unstick from the ground enough to get Frosty some stick limbs. Our poor, sad little snowman. Thankfully, SweetPea shared her favorite hat so he at least had some style.

I promised her that we could try again tomorrow when all the kids got home from school to see if we could make a new snowman in the backyard. So I guess that I have birthday plans now... more snow fun. Yay! For someone who hates winter, I sure have seemed to have spent my fair amount of time playing in the cold and snow this year.
