(I realize you probably can't even see the snow in these pictures, there were better, bigger flakes throughout the day but never at a time when I could take a picture!)
Of course I didn't have my little camera with me when the really big flakes were coming down when Sarah & I went to pick up Anna from school today. All of the kids at school were outside to play in the falling snow. This was the first time my girls have seen snow falling. Last year we had a slight dusting on the porch one morning but that is a different thing than actually seeing it fall. Poor Anna wanted to know when we could build a snowman. I told her we are going to try to go to Muju this winter and go sledding so maybe we can build a snowman when we go there.
It was pretty exciting for me as well since I probably haven't seen snow falling since winter 2005 when Anna & I were in Colorado for Christmas. (If it even snowed then!--I know it did when Anna & I visited in April 2005.)
I cried when the kids saw their first snow falling. They had also played in it before visiting family, but never had snow at their own home! :)
How is it that Houston got 4 inches of snow and you only get flurries?? Freaky stuff! Of course, we have a nice 6 inch blanket over everything now. Adam loves it. His favorite thing is the throw snowballs and ride the sled down the hill!
