Snow, it only happens once in a blue moon, a rarity here in Austin. Ironically, we also had a blue moon recently. Tyler and Luke were so excited, and squealed with delight at the sight of our snow. As soon as they woke up, we headed downstairs to play in the snow. Forget about changing clothes, we went out in our PJs, rain boots, all bundled up and played outside until the boys' little hands and faces were red from the cold.
Tyler and Luke love Curious George and one of their favorite episodes is "Snow Day." So when I declared it was a snow day, they boys were jubilant. For days, the meteorologists predicted snow, but I was not convinced, especially when we started having freezing drizzle on Thursday night. I am so glad that Mother Nature delivered, for our little snow event brightened our world; just a smile from my boys is all it takes to bring me joy.
Tyler told us, “We need to get some skis so we can go skiing tonight.” Unfortunately, most of the snow melted by the time the boys woke up from their afternoon nap. Luke declared, “That’s some good snow” as he explored and played in it. This is the most snow he has ever seen! Luke was right, the snow was ultra powdery; had we gotten more, it would have been pretty awesome to ski on, especially down the hill in our neighborhood. Here in Central Texas, you have to enjoy snow while it lasts, which is not very long. Here comes the sun...
Yay! :-)
