Snowing in Sherman...

Today, it got colder as the day passed by. However, at 5 p.m., it was still only 38 degrees. On my way home from the pharmacy this afternoon, it started SNOWING! At first, we thought it was just flurries and would melt because it wasn't THAT cold and the ground was really wet from all the rain. We went home, ate dinner, etc. We had the blinds closed because it was pretty chilly with them open and there was a draft. I had them closed all day today and the heater on! After I started getting the kiddos ready for bed, I opened the front door to see if it had snowed anymore and THIS is what I saw! Needless to say, we got them OUT of the bed and ran outside to see the beautiful white blanket of snow! It is beautiful! And COLD! We are really hoping for a "snow day" tomorrow instead of school. I want so badly to build a snowman with my babies for the first time ever! Jason built one once when he was 3 and we went skiing, but he doesn't remember it. They would love it if we went outside and made snow angels and snowmen and had snow-ball fights! Last year, in Lufkin, on Easter weekend, it snowed! That was in APRIL! That was a little wierd but it was so much fun to hunt eggs in the snow. Tonight, these pictures were taken around 9 p.m. and it looks like broad daylight outside! It's so bizarre if you go out and see it...it really looks like daytime!

We are posting photos of the snow tonight, tomorrow will hopefully bring pictures of 2 little blonde kiddos dancing and playing in the glorious white snow! (and their mommy, too! haha)

Enjoy the photos!

Love,Sharon

GOOD MORNING SNOWY WINTER WONDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay...........................this morning, it was still here! It wasn't a dream! SNOW! Yea! School is delayed until 10 a.m. The kids and I were in the snow by 6:51 a.m.! We had a blast. It was too powdery to make a snowman. It wouldn't stick together. It would just crumble which was fun in itself. We did make snow angels, though and had a blast! The kids had on 4 layers of clothes so they could hardly move. I found a new trick, though! We put on latex gloves under our gloves. It really worked! My hands were actually sweating they were so warm! Jason's hands weren't hardly cold at all, either! Sarah's hands were too small for the latex gloves, but her mittens kept her nice and warm! We had so much fun and got some great pictures! Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Love, Sharon

Also, I have labeled each photo with a name....hope you enjoy them! :)

Anticipation...This is my favorite picture! Jason got completely dressed and was ready to go and I walked out behind him and he just STOPPED and looked at the snow and said "Look how beautiful it makes everything look!" WOW! What a great moment!

Now we're cold............

Time to go inside for hot cocoa and waffles!

Below are some pictures of the yard and trees. There was something so beautiful and peaceful about the blanket of snow in the back yard that we opted not to touch it. We only took pictures. It was beautiful with the sun peaking through onto the white cover over the yard. We played in the front yard so the back yard would still be beautiful. Knowing that it won't be long until the sun starts melting the ice and snow and patches of brown grass and mud will start peaking through but for right now............it was BEAUTIFUL! And peaceful. It made me wish for this one day that we lived in the country on a huge plot of rolling hills.
