"A snowball in the face is surely the perfect beginning to a lasting friendship."
-Markus Zusak
A rare event occurred in Texas this week: snow. Lots and lots of snow. The kids wasted no time getting outside as soon as it started sticking. James wouldn’t even wait to put on warm clothes. Ashlyn started setting up things to freeze overnight and both the girls tried out some gymnastics on the trampoline. Eventually it got too cold and they came back inside.
Sunday was also Valentine’s day, but with all the excitement over the snow it was hard to keep the kids contained and willing to take a picture. Even the promise of chocolate did little to help.
After warming up a bit the kids went right back outside. This time James put on warmer clothes. He tried to make a snowman by rolling a ball of snow around but unfortunately it was too powdery. Ashlyn managed to build a small one, complete with a baby carrot but that was the best we could do. Mainly the kids just ran around throwing snow on each other. Which is really the main thing to do in snow for kids, right?
