SNOW HAPPY!

When they arrived home from school the kids were so excited to have seen snow. They didn't mind there wasn't much left on the ground, they went right out and started making little snowballs to throw at each other. Sam has been sick for over 2 weeks now. (No, not the Swine Flu) Some unknown virus has taken it's toll on him so he didn't join in the reverie. The other 3 had a great time though.

At the time the sun was out and it appeared the storm had passed. Now, though, it is blustery and stormy again so there is bound to be more fun later. Off to make hot cocoa and toast..

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

First Snow

Today we experienced the first snow of 2009. Granted we have seen snow at Ski Dubai but this was actual precipitation falling from the sky..or rather flying sideways. I had mixed emotions. It was nice to be home, cleaning the house and having a fire in the fireplace but to go out for errands was brutal. By 3pm the sun was out and was melting any accumulation. Just a warning of things to come I suppose.
