Let it Snow!

Well, we got our wish. We woke up Tuesday morning to a 5:30am call from the school system letting us know we were on a delay because snow was falling in our area. We all went back to sleep and an hour later they called back with news that school would be closed. We were all surprised to see about an inch of snow! We weren't really expecting it. Then...they called for a bunch more Wednesday night and we saw some big flakes come down for a little while and then, sadly, the large amounts they called for never came to our area. Northern Charlotte got a bit more. Needless to say, Bella and Randy still had school but they had a delay. (We love delays! We don't have to make them up and we can all sleep in!) It wasn't quite what we were hoping for but it was still exciting for the girls and me.

The first picture was from Tuesday- like I said, we really didn't even know we were supposed to get snow. Bella said she preferred the ice because she liked eating the (clean) icicles. Ava just referred to it as "white" and talked about how the "white" was there or not there. That snow quickly melted...


The next few are from Wednesday night when the large flakes started to fall. We were all so excited that we got on all of our snow gear and went outside. It turned out for the best because by the next day everything had turned to rain and there was not much to see. Porter was quite a blob of snow pants and coat!
