Let It Snow!

We've had a few pretty fun days here lately. It actually snowed in Atlanta! While Quinn went to school yesterday, Mommy and I stayed in our pj's all day and when the snow started around lunchtime, we checked out our deck.



It was just starting to come down. I said, "It's white!" This was my first snow. I was excited about it.

By the time Quinn came home from school there was way more snow on the ground and we went out to play in it.


It was too powdery to make good snowballs and not really deep enough to make snow angels, but we gave it our all. 

I was just happy to be there!


Then on top of that, I discovered that I could dig in it and I was happy as a clam. I'm a big fan of digging.


Our big dream was to make a snowman. We worked really really hard to make this snowman (Mommy may have worked the hardest). He's pretty cool, right? I got the raisins for his eyes and mouth and since we didn't have any carrots, Quinn had the great idea of using a tomato. Pretty impressive...

until you see how big he actually was. But hey, it took all the snow we had!

More digging...

And then we went inside for hot chocolate!

Mommy's favorite part of any cold day.


So today Quinn had no school and it's a pretty good thing since the roads mostly looked like this- a dusting of snow over a sheet of ice. Not good for driving, but pretty good for playing.

Our neighbors were all out hanging in the snow. Nobody stayed out for long, though. It was really cold.

And we tried really hard to have a snowball fight, but the snow just wasn't cooperating.

 I was just happy to dig.

Stay warm, y'all!
