The Best Six Inches EVER!!!

I bet you thought this was going to be somewhat of a dirty post didn't you? You know the title and all? It's not. But truly, this is the best 6 inches of snow ever! This doesn't happen in North Carolina, or it hasn't in the 6 or so years I've been here. It has snowed 2 or 3 times, just enough to fall to the ground so you can see it, and then it melts.

This morning I was awoken to "Mom, MOM, IT'S SNOWING!!!!!!!" Which prompted me to roll over and put a pillow over my head. Because really, what's the point of getting up if it's just going to be gone by the time I get dressed? Not two seconds later my doorbell rang. Now I had to get up. I went to my front door to see my neighbor all bundled up in tons of clothes (which is really not anything exciting since she's from Miami, and can't stand the cold weather!), and then I looked past her to the SIX INCHES of snow that blanketed my yard and vehicles! WOW! She asked if we were going to come out and play. So we rushed to get dressed and we went outside for about 30 minutes to play. Needless to say we are ill equipped for the snow. All of my kids had plastic bags on inside their shoes. LOL

But looking at this picture, can you see the excitement on the littlest guy's face? He can barely stand it! Even the dog, who hates rain, LOVES the snow.


I did clean off Lucy (the burgundy car) with the broom, but it's STILL snowing! Luckily, they cancelled our appointments for the day, and the base seems to be closed down. No one's at work. Even the commissary is closed, which is bad, because I have no milk! :( I guess I Didn't believe them when they said it was going to snow. I figured it was going to be like it was the last few times.

I'm all warmed up now, and we're going to go back out and have another go at the snow!

Brrrrr....


It's pretty chilly out. Cold enough that I want to stay wrapped in my blanket in bed, although not nearly as cold as it is in other parts of the country. I am dreaming of a white Christmas, really, but I don't want it TOO white. Anyway, I was inspired to make this treasury this morning. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! For those of you getting snow....I'm jealous, only ...not TOO jealous!
