Winter Weather is Wacky


One week ago Sunday, we enjoyed a warm sunny Sunday afternoon.

Less than a week later, we were in a bookstore when it started snowing fast and hard with those big, wet snowflakes that stick!  Hooray!! As much as I disliked cold Indiana winters, I was hoping for one big North Carolina snow for the girls to see and play in.  Well, Nature delivered and it was beautiful. 

We drove home in chaotic blinding snow (we were only a few miles away!) and immediately bundled up to play.  Ashlyn had skipped her naptime so she was a tad grumpy and wearing too big shoes that fell off and made her feet "Ewww Wet" did not help. She waddled around for a few minutes but then came in a watched from the window. Pantless, of course. 


Dan was a turbo and over-achieving snowman builder (in a good way!) and made an enormous snowman with Ari. The middle was so big he couldn't make it up the hill.  Ari loved it.

Ari put the carrot in the midsection and then took a bite out of it! 

 

The next day was sunny and the snow didn't last more than 24 hours but Dan and Ari made the most of it and attempted sledding down the big hill.  (Sadly, I had to work)  


It was a good family weekend!
