Snow Ya'll!

The snow started falling Friday afternoon around 3pm and did not stop until the wee hours of the morning on Saturday, I know because I was up nursing my almost 3 month old! We got a pretty decent amount of snow, at least it was a decent amount for us down here in the South! I would venture to say that there is a good 3 or 4 inches on the ground. We don't have snow plows around here, well at least not that many, some of the main roads get plowed, but residential areas...forget it, so you can imagine what the roads are like, a nice thick sheet of ice.

Sophie was so excited to see the snow start to fall yesterday afternoon and when she got up this morning and saw the ground covered with the beautiful white stuff, she could not wait to get out and play. All she could talk about was eating snow, making snow angels and building a snowman, we read lots of books about snow during the Christmas holiday that is how she knows about all things snow! We got all bundled up which took a good 15 minutes or so and since we don't have proper snow attire, Sophie was sporting 3 pairs of socks 4 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, a scarf, a hat, 2 pairs of gloves, her lady bug boots and her coat! Poor girl had on so many articles of clothing she could not stand up when she fell down! Luckily, since Neal stayed inside to listen out for Jonah who was happily sleeping upstairs, I got to wear Neal's snow pants that he had from a ski trip he took years ago for work.

We had such a blast playing outside, we played outside until we cold no longer feel our fingers. She can't wait to go out and play again tomorrow, because for once the snow did not melt all in the same day that it accumulated!

Sophie wanted to make a snow angel so bad, it was all she could talk about before we got outside, however once she realized she had to lay down in the wet snow to actually make one, her response when asked if she wanted to make one was, "no thanks" so all this hype about snow angels had me wanting to make a darn snow angel! So I did.

Graceful, I know.
