Snow fun for the kids

Well, we did finally get snow this season. I was hoping we would get a little at least. The kids love snow. That's what is nice about the south. You get just a little of it every now and then to keep ya happy, but you don't have to be smothered in it for months on end. I personally don't mind lots of snow for long periods of time, but I wouldn't have to deal with it much since I don't have a job. lol. Non the less, it was nice for the kids to get a little. It was still snowing quite steadily when these pictures were taken, so we did get more than is shown here. This was on Sunday, March 1st. The kids were out of school the next day, so they got to play in it a lot more.

I let Hunter play a little, but since he was getting over pneumonia, I didn't think it was a good idea for him to be out there long. :) It probably wasn't the best idea for me to let him go out at all, but he wouldn't have gotten another chance to play in the snow for who knows how long. It didn't seem to affect him negatively at all, thankfully. I would have felt so bad if it had.

My house gettin' some snow coverage. :)

This picture is of the Kristen getting ready to build a mini snowman. :) She was way under dressed, cuz she's a nut! She was only out there for maybe 10 minutes though. She just couldn't stand that there was snow on the back deck that was undisturbed. lol. By the time she was done playing out there, the deck was just about cleared of snow. :) And here is her cute little snowman. It's so little. :) And it can't see! Poor little thing. :)

Karen, of course, had to join her, but at least she dressed more appropriately. Not quite sure what's she's doing here though. I guess she just wanted to hold a snowball on her head. :)

She did make me a heart though. How sweet. :)

And, of course, she had to build a little snowman too. :)

Good job, Karen. She is just such a sweet little cutie. There's just something about the baby of the family. :) I hate that she has to grow up. :(

Yummy, snow!And here are my three knuckle heads. The driveway looks quite slick. I'm just glad they didn't bust it while they were running around.


Of course, they had to clear off their daddy's car. :) His poor car has to sit outside in the snow, while my car and van get the warm comfort of the garage. Awe, poor little car. :) (It's his choice though, to leave his car outside. I just don't want to come across as the mean one who won't let him keep his car in the garage. :) )


Oh wow, look, they all have a lump of snow. lol. Aren't they special? :)

Karen with her snowball. I wonder who got pelted with it. :)

I'm just so glad they got some snow. Kristen and Hunter were NOT happy about missing school, which is good I guess, but so not normal. Karen was perfectly happy to miss though. :)

Sounds like my kids, they'll be running around in shorts and I'll be bundled up like it's a blizzard... :)

We didn't get hardly any snow, and what little we did get was gone before it hit the ground...

I would've thought you would've gotten more than me. We didn't get too much more than what is shown in the pics. Just enough to play in. I didn't get out in it at all. I absolutely would have if we had gotten a lot of it, but the ground was so slushy under the snow. It had rained the day before and it was so soggy. I like playing in the snow though. Of course, I don't freeze quite like you do. lol

Fun! My kids love snow. We have snow on the ground right now - woke up with an inch-ish this morning, it melted, but now it's back. No school closings though, much to the kids' chagrin. lol.

I prefer to appreciate it's beauty from indoors. I'm like Matt when it comes to being cold though. It's literally painful to me to be cold!! lol.
