SNOW!

Two good snows in two years - that's a good average for the South!

It rained for three days straight and they were predicting 3-6 inches for Greenville this weekend. Like most everyone, we were thinking "yeah, right." But, as it started sleeting Sunday morning, then really, REALLY snowing Sunday afternoon it became a real possibility. Sure enough - we got a solid 4 inches! Woohoo!

I bought a saucer sled Sunday on a whim. It was fun while it lasted. I got to use it a few times, as did Reid. Then Ross got a hold of it... let's just say it died a sad little death only 18 or so hours after it was purchased. :( But, I digress...

The snow was awesome! Reid was much more into it this year than last year. Part of it was that he is a little older, and the other part is proper footwear! Fortunately, I bought a pair of cute galoshes/snow boots from the consignment shop like 6 months ago. They are from Lands End and have super thick fleece liners. Seriously - his feet were warm as toast, even when the rest of his body was soaked. They completely earned their $14 price tag this weekend.

Here are some pics. I took a ton - these are my favorites!


The big tree by our playground.


Reid and Joshua making snow angels.

Sledding!

Pure joy... check out those big flakes. He was SO excited.

Dad and Reid.

So pretty. I didn't see any major tree damage by our place but we saw a lot just down the road.


The saucer sled - dead. :( You can't really see the big cracks in the pic, but it's a goner.

All bundled up!


I'm thinking about doing this one in black and white for framing. So cute!

Playing cars in the snow... it's just like playing cars in dirt!
