S N O W…who cares if it’s here today, gone tomorrow?
My kids were out at 7:00 a.m. I drank coffee and watched with DELIGHT as they made the most of what we got (maybe an inch? two? and very wet!). Aussie doesn’t look as happy as they do. This is their 3rd or 4th wardrobe change…we haven’t had reason for "snow clothes" since we moved. If you thought it snowed everywhere in Tennessee, you’d be very wrong.
I bought my kids sleds for Christmas. VERY CHEAP ones, as you can see, but sleds none-the-less (and yes, they worked better than the "fancier" one not pictured).
THAT, from my perspective, is the picture of ETERNAL OPTIMISM! Thinking along the lines of "Field of Dreams"–if you buy them, s n o w will come :). From TAD’S perspective, it was a waste of money. It was worth every bit of ridicule and mockature I received from him when Thomas said yesterday morning, "Mom, HOW DID YOU KNOW?" to which I replied, "Know what?" to which he replied, "How did you know it was going to snow this year?". Hehe, "Mamas just KNOW these things," I said with a completely straight and sage-riddled expression. Fourth winter here, first mea
surable snow…
Yep, Mama was V E R Y happy, indeed :). It
doesn’t…take…much!
coming from canada I am used to tons of snow but here in England you rarely see it.. Im not bothered.. I prefer snow on christmas day and then gone the next.. lol I LOVE the pics though!
Well, y’all got more snow than we did. I think ours is called a “dusting.”
Where does one get cheap sleds? Not for the dustings, but for the more measurable events, I mean.
I love snow!! Unfortunately Britain sucks when it comes to the white stuff!! 🙁
What a good lookin’ family! :O) Oh yeah, the snow. I’ll send you some overnight whenever yours melts.
Looks like you are having a great time :)…Very nice surroundings you have on your property.
Blessings on your day and always…
I knew I should have bought those sleds they had on sale at Elliot’s – even if it was 70 degrees outside.
“Mockature,” is that the speed you get up to on those grocery store sleds?
“Now approaching mockature 3! Hang on everyone!”
I think we’re getting your storm now. Thanks! My sugary snowbabies were starting to pout.
Great sleds – Fireball and Ice-something (can’t quite make out the second part). Cheap? maybe – but still just as fun!!! looks great.
We actually have had blue, sunny skies for a week straight. I’m LOVING that. (cold, but clear)
Tonya, I’m in my 40s and I’ve NEVER had a white Christmas. Except for the mounds of tissue paper ’round the tree.
Carol, we had dustplus, lol. Cheap sleds courtesy of Target.
Erik, I know where I won’t be moving ;).
MaryMert, why thank you sweet lady :). Can you send that second day air?
Iris, a little snow goes a l o n g way in our house. My husband is the lone dissenter (I’m just thankful he made it safely to work, he saids the roads were decent).
Heather, YES, YOU SHOULD HAVE! I’m gonna get some “good” ones at the end of the season (cause why? I’m the eternaleternal optimist!).
Erin, I am soooo glad someone caught MY newly-coined word. I think you just tapped into its second meaning. Oooooo, and you have a storm? Sounds like you’ll have inches to spare.
Karmyn, the boys liked the names, too (Ice Comet)(it cleans while you slide)(I wish). Guess it’s always a case of “the grass is always greener”, huh?
You are so lucky, it’s been a long time since we’ve had snow here in Ireland.
I’m soooo stinkin’ jealous! We were supposed to get snow yesterday but N-O-T-H-I-N-G! I’m such a big kid. I love the snow 🙁
Beautiful picture of you on the porch, btw – your daughter looks JUST like you – she’s beautiful, too! Oh, yeah – the boys are handsome too 😉
It’s suddenly turned much warmer here in England so I don’t think we have much chance of snow this winter. Pity really a bit of the white stuff would be nice- well maybe for a day or two.
Lucky you with the snow. It brings back memories of when my children were young. There was just nothing better than a snow day! ENJOY!
How long Beccy? Four years seemed long to me.
SusanInVa, I’m sooooo sorry love, I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL! And thanks for the sweetness, I love it when people see me in my kids (cause most of the time I can’t see it :/).
Chris, Global warming’s a bummer, huh?
Nancy, We enjoyed every minute…and today I’m thankful for the pictures to remind us it was here!
I can’t get over how much Rachel looks like you!
Ooo, it’s so beautiful there with all the trees and the snow! We got about an inch today, but it sure didn’t look like THAT. 🙂
When I saw your view from the front door, I knew it would be a place that snow would be welcome.
glad you got your desire!
Claudia, Rachel’s like, “I don’t see it…I just don’t see it.” lol
SG, The trees have looked so NAKED, amazing what a little snow can do to dress ’em up.
Pamela, Well…..you KNOW I was thinking of those front door shots when I took those pics…what a difference a week makes! 🙂
Sometimes when you’re too close, you only see the differences!! 🙂
That’s fantastic. Glad the snow was there to enjoy. Over here, it’s not quite the case. We had two days of snow, not a lot, but two days of high winds. And the wind has now blown all the previous snow into the driveway and everywhere else. It was a tough walk up the long driveway in blizzard like winds last night. And today I’ve been watching people dig out all morning.
We have tons of snow here and it would be perfect for outdoor sports if it weren’t so FRIGGIN’ COLD! Sigh.
Thanks for your visit to my blog! 🙂
Oh I love you porch. I love the snow also. Better than what we have been getting here in Florida. If you watch the news you probably saw my town the last few days.
Those are some Great pictures! Glad to see some snow finally found you. Our snow is subliming now because it’s so cold.
Beautiful sunny day in Texas. Not a flake in sight. I am jealous.
I am so glad you got snow – it was a gift from God, just for the snow-lover in you!
Your daughter is your “MiniMe”. I can’t get over how much she looks like you!
I love snow too… but now that I am an adult I have found that they cancel work much less often as they cancelled school. Travesty!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
