Mid-afternoon on Friday, the snow began - barely. The children, thinking that this may be the only snow they may ever taste or see, quickly stopped battling to take it all in.....
Thursday afternoon I was driving the children over to a local indoor pool to swim. The sky looked grey and the clouds were thick and it was COLD. As I often do, I called Ryan to talk. I jokingly asked him if snow was in the forecast. He said, "Well, not today but tomorrow we are supposed to get 2-3 inches of snow. It will never happen." Well, 24 hours later the snow DID happen and the children were mesmerized, excited and everything in between. All of them except our little "snow plum" - MK's Chinese name translates into snow plum but a snow plum she is not.
Her initial response was overwhelming joy as seen in the pic. However, it didn't take long for her to decide that the snow was much too messy and she was in need of an umbrella.
Once again, it did not take long for her to decide that the snow was just not all that. She said, "Dis to messy. I go paint." OK.
Paint we did....with our hat on, just in case :)
Meanwhile, the boys were out back on our trampoline....I am positive this is a safe practice, right?
And then came the inevitable snow ball fighting.....
and the snow kept falling which meant there needed to be some sledding involved....
which led to much happiness.....
