February 12th 2010.So in Texas it never snows. We have lived here for 8 years and in that time, we MIGHT see snow once a year, and it is a one day thing. It literally will go from 30 degrees to 75 degrees in a matter of 24 hours here in Texas.
This year however we have had record amounts of snow. It snowed for something like 16 hours straight! It was amazing and super fun. For a bunch of sun worshipers, having a few days of snow was an absolute treat.
Every where you went there were snowmen. By the time the snow melted they were in every yard, field, median--anywhere there was a spot, someone had built a snowman.
Since the twins are native Texans, building a snowman is an experience they have not had the pleasure of having.
So we all bundled up (with our scanty cold weather gear) and got to work!
Notice the gloves...(dug out from a box dating back to my and Scott's snowboarding days)
Mr. Cutie, always hard at work, rolling his snowman head. (This is the first day of the snow, it had been snowing about 8 hours when this picture was taken.)
Our "SWEET snowman" His face was made out of CANDY! His eyes were truffles, and his mouth M&M's. We used a carrot for the nose, for good measure.The next day called for more fun, even me and Scott were chomping at the bit to get out in the snow for some fun....
All through the day, there were kids out on the street. They would come out until they were freezing, go in long enough to warm up and dry out, then they were back in the snow.
I think this cute snippet, speaks for itself. (It totally makes me look like I have an attention deficit. I guess I....hey, look at that bird!)
Scott being bombarded by all the kids at once....
Our street after 16 some odd hours of snow....IN TEXAS!!! go figure.
The beauty of winter...Every day, every moment is a wonder and a gift.
