So last year it snowed in Houston. A real snow. It snowed for maybe 4 hours and the kids ran around scooping it up with their hands, licking it off of unclean things, throwing snow, catching it on their eye lashes...you get the idea.
I told them to really enjoy it, because it probably wouldn't snow like that again when they were still kids. I had lived here for 35 years and have never seen it stick like that...
Well...They are probably thinking I'm a liar, because it snowed again. They closed school down at 11:00. I was home by 12:00...I ran in, got my camera and ran over to Dana's to take pics of the kids. They looked wonderful out there in her backyard...They were giggling, laughing, screaming, singing. An absolutely magical moment. Dana was knitting hats as quickly as she could, so that they would all have one...even though the girls had hats attached to jackets, she had Kaytlynn in one that had been knitted that day! Jeff was already home, and he made a coffee run and even bought me one! It was a caramel something and it was yummy! I brought Cocoa for the kids and Dana hauled out the marshmallows.
It snowed more this year than I have ever seen...even more than last year. The flurries would come in huge gusts where they were thick and everywhere in the air. The sad news is that it wouldn't stay cold enough for them to actually stick...so they just had a slushy mess on the ground to play with. We are lucky that they are kids, because this really didn't matter to them...it was as good of a snow day as any.

I'm glad Evan was old enough to enjoy it this year, too, because it may not happen again for a while. Although, Evan thinks it snows in Texas every year right now!
Snow is magical!
