Snow ... Finally

Well we finally had some snow ... not a lot but some ... I wanted to stay home for the whole day so Skye and I could just play in it all day long but I couldn't do that ... so we decided to be late instead ... which both of us were perfectly happy about ...

We got all bundled up ... for a kid who rarely gets to see snow she sure knew the drill ... she told me which had she needed to wear out ... that she had to have gloves and her boots on ... and warm pants ... we weren't going to be out long enough to warrant the snow pants I got so she settled for fleece ...

She was SO excited the moment we stepped out ... she jumped around ... looked up to the sky to feel the flakes on her face ... just loved it ...

She asked if we could build a snowman ... I explained there wasn't quite enough snow for that and it would be a bit hard for mommy ... we'd wait till the next snow and daddy could do it ... I was so sorry he was out of town and didn't get to participate in what she has been waiting a whole year for ...

She was alright about the snowman and said, "snowballs instead" ... so she made a bunch of snowballs and threw them and thought it was a blast ... did a little running in the yard ... and just had a grand time ... if only we could have gone out later to play more but by the time we got home tonight it had started raining ice ...

But I'm confident we'll get more snow and she'll get to play more ...
