Snow Day

   This morning we heard Avery come tearing up the stairs to our bedroom just excitedly exclaiming about the snow that fell last night.  I was already up and Avery was just jabbering away about snow running from one window to the next.  She looked over to see Daryl still sleeping in bed, and she rushed over to him to yell in his face about snow and how he needed to wake up.  We both hurried up to get ready for the day, so we could go experience the snow.  This is Avery's first snowfall that she has been old enough to really appreciate it, and she wanted to do it all.  She made a snowman that was about six inches tall and had a carrot nose as well as bamboo arms.  She also made a couple snow angels, and she had a great time sliding around.  The snow was pretty wet and sparse, so all of these activities were difficult.  

   Harper was not a fan of the snow because it was windy, and that made it bitterly cold.  She lasted maybe five minutes before needing to go inside where she immediately began to cry and demand her jacket come off.  Avery lasted maybe ten minutes more because there just wasn't much snow and it was cold.  I was pretty glad myself when she decided she was done.  By the afternoon the snow was all gone, and I won't be sad if we don't get anymore snow.

The girls playing in our snow.  You should be impressed I found enough snow to make that snowman with.
