Playing in the Snow

Sunday was a rainy day. It rained all day. The temperature dropped. And at about 11pm, the rain turned to ice. Then to snow overnight. We had officially become part of the North East Winter Storm. Jim was leaving at 6am for his week long golf trip to South Carolina. I got up with him. And we had a blanket of snow. School was cancelled. I watched the snow fall for a little while. I knew the twins would LOVE seeing it. They have been dying for snow, especially since they have had school cancelled before wih no snow. We came downstairs at about 8:30am and I opened the blinds to show the twins the snow. They were so excited. I managed to keep them in until about 10am. Then we bundled up and headed outside. They really had fun. It is so amazing to see how different they act around snow now than they did the first time they saw it. Back then, Caitlin HATED it. Back then, she went out and just stood there and looked at it. Now she makes snowballs and chases her brother. She makes snow angels. She just loved it! Christoper liked the snow before, but now he really enjoys it. He knows how to make snowballs and likes to throw them at his sister and at me. He also brought his football out and was throwing it around. They played in the backyard with the dogs for about an hour. What fun! The dogs loved the snow too! Today, we still have snow, but they are back at school. They were sad to go too. Christopher told me that since there was still snow, he could not go to school. Makes perfect sense in 4-year old logic. Anyway, we enjoyed the snow. And even though we miss daddy this week, we are having fun. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
