Fun in the Snow

Mommy and her girls playing in the snow
"Umm... Daddy... this is fun and all, but I'd really like to get down now." ~Abby

"This is soooo much fun!!!" ~Rory

"I'm not sure about this at all." ~Abby

"Look. Daddy's up high in the playhouse!!!" ~Rory

The sun is so bright and really brings out the red in Rory's hair

Abby playing in the snow

My family!!

(Notice that I caught Daddy in the act of making a snowball. Guess who that was intended for)

"Hmmm.. What exactly do you expect me to do now that you have put me in so much snow I can't walk?" ~Abby

Rory having so much fun!!!

"My bottom is cold" ~Abby

"Hmmm... I'm not too sure about all this cold white stuff" ~Rory

Walking in the snow

Knee high drifts

The snow didn't stick around very long

Much to our surprise and delight, today turned out to be a beautiful day despite the nasty blizzard yesterday. By the time we got up this morning (around 8:30 am) the snow had already started to melt off. By noon, most of the snow was completely gone off of the roads and we were able to start seeing grass in our front yard. It was a little bizarre to see all that snow melting off so quickly. After the girls' nap this afternoon, we decided to take them out for some fun snow time. They weren't too sure about the snow at first, but really got into playing in it after a few minutes. Daddy and Rory were even tossing snow back and forth at each other before we came back in the house. Abby liked to sit in the snow until she realized that her little backside was getting cold pretty fast. Then, she was really keen for Mommy to carry her around. Because of Abby's recent ear infection, we didn't stay out very long, but it was a lot of fun all the same. Both girls got a chance to go up in our tall playhouse with Daddy. Rory thought that was a lot of fun and Abby just wanted to get her feet back on the ground as soon as possible (I'm with her). After our fun outside, we all came back in and warmed up. It was such a fun treat to play in the snow with the girls!!!
