Snow... now? what?

I love winter.
That's right. Snow is COOL!
It was tragic to live in Florida and be cold without snow!
So I was SOOOO happy last winter when we had such GREAT snow storms in Washington! Woohoo!
THIS winter, however, was very VERY mild. No snow at all!
Barely even coats!
I bought Makayla AND Oscar the cutest EVER snowsuits, and I only got to use them the one weekend that we were in Idaho! :-( BUMMER!
Oh well, at least Makayla can reuse hers next summer. I am sorely disappointed I wasn't able to enjoy Oscar's fuzzy white snow-bear suit though.

So here we are in April now, moved up to Seattle and suddenly....
SNOW!!!!!

Makayla couldn't wait to get out there! She started running as soon as I opened the door and never looked back! HA! Luckily the little park wasn't very far away, so I caught up.

She was so mezmorized by the "cold, white, snow white" that she couldn't stop touching it!



Then, I taught her how to make a snow ball and throw it...
A whole new world opened up to her!
She attacked the poor bouncy horse with a vengeance! He never even saw it coming!

The best part was, I finally got my snowman.
After waiting all winter to make one, spring comes a long and BAM! There's my snowman.
He's a little small, but I love him anyway...
Until Mak threw him at the bouncy horse :-(
Ahhh... one day of snow.
Thanks!

  4. okay, so i don't like winter. BUT, if it has to be cold, i want snow on the ground. otherwise, it's a waste of time!! portland has the type of winters here. we had it snow twice this year, and it was gone by the time oprah came on. sucks!! but, every year, we head up to mt hood and go play in the snow. no, we don't ski or snowboard. we actually PLAY in it. we make snow angels, we go sledding, we have snowball fights. next year, the paxtons are coming with us!!!
