Let It Snow, and snow, and snow...

So much for the green grass we had as of just yesterday. Not a blade in sight. Unless I dig about a foot or more down. Blizzard like conditions swept through our state yesterday and it is still snowing. It's pretty, but a lot of work to move it. Perry is out there now, clearing it up. School has been canceled which is fun news for the girls. I probably appreciate it more, since I don't have to drive in this. I guess we will indeed have a white Christmas. Unless global warming kicks in and melts it all before then.


Our poor trees tipped over from the heaviness of the snow.

The light at the end of the tunnel.
I'm heading out to help. I really do love the first big snow like this. Now if this were March or April....that's another story.

The girl's took 15 minutes to bundle up and venture outside. They sunk.
Phoebe attempted a trip down the slide.

She got stopped halfway down by the heavy snow.3 minutes later they came crying in saying that the wind blew snow in their faces and got frost bite and they had enough. HA! Took longer to get dressed than the time spent outside playing.

As great as it looks, I'm glad I'm here in Texas where the skies are blue and although it's cold, it ain't THAT cold!!! Just looking at your pics sent a shiver thru me!!!

lol. i love that they said they got frost bit. lol! they are too funny. i'm secretly happy that my kids don't care yet about playing in the snow. because i hate to and i'd have to go out there with them! i blame it on working at the daycare..we had to dress 15 2 year olds to play outside for about 15 minutes. ummm not fun!
it's fun to look at pictures of your house in the city though, out in the country it got all blown around and it doesn't seem like a lot!
