Snow Day!

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a lover of snow, and I have been thoroughly enjoying the non-snow winter months that we've been having. The kids however have been mourning winter without snow (which I find interesting because it's not like they really know what snow is like...we didn't get much in St. George and they were really little in Pullman, and we didn't play in it much there. Snow - hater...remember) So, when it snowed here they got really really excited. I was so proud of Kember. She went right out and built a snowman all by herself. She's never made one before (no commentary on the fact that my 6 year old hasn't ever built one before...I know it's pathetic). She did it all by herself, and I think she did a great job, even if I do say so myself. Cole was out the door next and was jumping and playing and having a great time. Caden took a little longer to get out, but he had fun playing in the snow too.Mom and dad called me and went to the store for me so I didn't have to go out in inclement weather. Nice huh? Thanks guys!

Dan got stuck in SL and Provo trying to get home from work...and wasn't the happiest I've ever seen him (can you blame him though? he gets off work at 7, and didn't make it home till after 10...and he didn't bring a coat. Trying to get his tire chains on and off made him soaking wet...poor guy).

And these pictures aren't from the snow above...it snowed earlier, but didn't stick around and the boys were just so excited they had to go out right then. No waiting for snow gear...just wanted to get out there.

My kids were happy too, especially when it didn't melt the next day!

Sorry, that is from Andrea, not Matt.

Snow! beautiful stuff. Plus a good insulator. The lack of it may be the cause of numerous death of our plants because their roots froze. Not to mention an extreme increase of frozen water meters. Yep, snow is good stuff.
