Snow Day!

It finally snowed this past Sunday! It was a beautiful snow with big fluffy flakes, and there was plenty of it. I think Simpsonville got somewhere around 6 inches!!! Here are the highlights...Tripp and Colin standing at the back door, looking out chanting, "snow.. Snow.. SNOW" louder and Louder and LOUDER! They were so excited. We went out on Sunday night and took some pictures of us getting snowed on, but we managed to hold off the big fun in the snow until the next day. Colin just wanted to eat the snow. He also thought it was very funny to get hit with snowballs and the fact that we kept letting Tripp hit him with them was a win win for both boys (Next time I'm sure he won't think it's so funny and will fight back!). We did not make a snowman, we put it off until Monday and the snow had a funky texture and wouldn't stick together - sad, because I really wanted Tripp to experience that! We also did not have a sled - mental note to pick one up next time I'm at Wilson's 5 & 1.00 - but Tripp had just as much fun trying to ride his tricycle in the snow on the driveway. We also made snow ice cream (Yum!).

Snow days are fun, but I think Tripp started to get cabin fever by Monday night. He kept asking me and Stephen to do crazy things (example: Mama, can we please get out the sprinkler? It would be fun to run through it!) and was tired of "Train World" and "Car World" by bed time, and I still haven't managed to put up all that little people car stuff!

Today is Thursday, we still have snow in our backyard, but tomorrow promises to be 70 degrees so it will probably all be gone after that. I hope you enjoy the pictures of our little "snow day" in South Carolina!
