We told Katie on Sunday there was a chance of snow later in the day. She got a little over zealous and decided to sing "Frosty the Snowman" to her entire classroom at church in honor of the approaching snow storm. Yeah - that's right....not once, but 3 times. When we picked her up her teachers said, "I think she is a little excited about the snow" and laughed a bit. For good measure, she sang it to Matt and I twice on the way home (since we missed out on her earlier efforts).
The snow started falling about mid-day but didn't really accumulate until it turned dark....too late for us to play in it on Sunday.
As soon as Katie woke up Monday we got dressed and went outside to play. I'm sure our neighbors loved the screaming noise outside at 7:30 in the morning. In total, we got 4 inches of snow....but with temperatures in the 40's it was melting fast today. We made the most of the snow with 3 trips outside to play in the snow today. Of course, there were breaks in between for warming up, drinking hot chocolate, and eating lunch. Katie loved making her 2 Frosty's and one small house (didn't quite have enough snow to finish the house).
Most adults loathe the snow - seeing it as just an inconvenience. Matt and I - I suppose - are still kids at heart because we LOVE it. Both of us look forward to any and all snow storms. Maybe our excitement has rubbed off on Katie, because she does seem to love the snow.
Hope you all had as much fun on this snow day as we did!!! :-)
