Let it Snow!

Happy Tuesday! As I type this post, it’s 51 degrees in Montgomery (AL). This time last week we were awaiting SNOW. Snow doesn’t happen here very often. The last time it snowed was February 2010. I actually found on my blog that it also snowed a little in March of 2009. Thank goodness for blogs! Anyway, last week it snowed and the kids were out of school for 3 days. We were back in shorts and t-shirts Sunday! Here are some of the photos I took. I think these were taken Wednesday after it finally snowed Tuesday evening (after the kids waited allll dayyyy Tuesday for some flakes). You may have seen or heard of how horrible things were in Birmingham and Atlanta (traffic, people sleeping at work and in schools, etc), but in Montgomery all was well and we were basically stuck at home for 3 days (but all safe)!!

Maggie didn’t mind the snow. At first she tip toed around quickly to do her thing, but seemed to enjoy it.

The kids had the most fun on the trampoline. As you can see, we here in Alabama don’t really have snow clothes. What you see are layers of clothes on them which got soaking wet and all had to be washed 18 times.

This is our garage. The icicles came before the snow!

In the south, we also don’t have sleds or sleighs. These are boogie boards we usually take to the beach every summer. They worked pretty well! Where I live is also pretty flat, but we ventured across the street to the golf course and found a few hills.

This would be a snowed over sand trap.

Of course everyone in the state of Alabama made a snow angel!

Even though all the laundry and mess made me a little crazy (and being cooped up inside for 3 days), I know the kids loved every minute of it and will probably never forget the snowball fights with Jeff or “sledding” on the golf course. Yes, that is snot running down Mallory’s nose.

All is back to normal now and the snow is long gone! Not a lot else going on around here other than school and the usual stuff!
