SNOW!!!!

Hooray for snow!!! I've always wanted my boys to see and experience snow. They've always only seen it on TV or in stories and have thought about how fun and exciting it must be to play in the snow. Living in Perry, Ga, you just don't get snow but about a couple of times a decade. If it ever does snow nearby, it always seems like the cutoff line is around Forsyth or Macon, but rarely does Perry see snow. I think the last time it snowed enough to actually have some on the ground, I was pregnant with Dalton 6 years ago. We finally received a little of the white stuff yesterday. We had two rounds of it really. One in the morning while we were at church and then another later in the day around 3:00. The boys were so disappointed that the snow from the morning wasn't still at our house when we arrived home from church. It was snowing like crazy at church, but the closer we came to our house while driving back, the less snow we saw. When we arrived home, there was absolutely no snow to be found. So later in the day it snowed again and stuck around a little this time. It was about the wettest, coldest snow I've ever seen. When you tried to make a snowball out of it, it was like a big ice ball that could seriously do some damage to someone if strategically thrown. The boys had fun with the snow in spite of our lack of good snow clothing for them. We realized we just didn't have proper snow clothes for them. We had gloves for the boys, but they were the kind that the wetness of the snow would soak right through to their little hands after a while. They toughed it out for the most part though. We didn't quite have enough snow for us to build a snowman, especially since we used up most of the snow that had built up on some of the surfaces as snowballs. We really had a pitiful little dusting of snow at our house, but it was definitely better than nothing. It melted almost as fast as it came.
