Just look at these glorious, super large snowflakes. The ground was wet and cold so it started sticking quickly and like crazy.
The boys immediately went outside to play in it. It thundered once. When I got outside Christopher was counting. He got to 40 and stopped. He quite emphatically stated that the storm was 40 miles away. I asked if he saw lightning. No. How did he know when to start counting? When it thundered. How did he know when to stop? When he was ready to. Works for me.
This one just finished a race a few hours before. He had been hoping for weather like this for his race. It was just a few degrees too warm for actual snow. After actually racing in very, very cold rain, I think he decided that was cold enough. I have a separate post about that in a bit.
We're just all very glad we have snow this winter so we don't have to go through the entire summer hearing about how a certain someone didn't get to see snow this year. Thanks to the God of so many blessings - big and small.
I'm loving these pictures of the kids in the snow. Especially that last one. And guess what? You had snow (and were thankful for it) and we didn't. I call that a great big gift from God. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's March 1st. Not only did my parents marry 49 years ago today, but it's also the first of the last month; the last month that we have to deal with this wintery cold and snow. It's down hill from here. May I get an AMEN to that, Sisters?

AMEN, SISTER!
