Covered with Snow

Incredibly rare for SC we got about 6 inches of snow at our house. Our cable and internet went down and I am WAY behind on blogging right now. I got some great pics of the kids and they had a blast. I always say that I wish we lived up north someplace that it snows all the time and it's nearly as hot in the summer as it is in the south. Let me say that after dressing and undressing kid after kid yesterday I'll keep my southern weather and snow once every five years anyday. I don't know how you all do it..I'd had enough of it by 10 am. I haven't edited pics yet but here are a few straight from my camera. I've got tons of work to do on pics if I ever find the time..I was going to work on it and blogs last night but I got sucked into the last miserable episode of the Bachelor!

Caleb actually only went outside once first thing yesterday morning. He played for a while and then was ready to come in and never asked to go out again. It was fun to watch him though..he loved the sled!

Everytime I turned around Jacob had snow in his mouth. He picked up huge pieces of snow and shoved them in his mouth repeatedly. Seriously I thought he was going to wet the bed last night he ate so much snow! He went back out yesterday afternoon while Caleb was sleeping and when he came in he was soaking wet from head to toe...he had an absolute ball in the snow!

Lucas decided to try and go down the slide on the swingset..you can see the outcome :) He wanted to learn how to run and jump on the sled most of all..his daddy tried to show him but he never quite caught on. They all had a blast on it when daddy was pushing them though.

This is my little sumo wrestler..when she was bundled up I joked that was what she looked like. She only stood the snow for as long as it took for me to get pics at the beginning and then she was done. She wasn't out more than 10 minutes and she was inside the rest of the day..she did get to experience it though..she actually tried to crawl when we first put her down..so cute!

Those pictures look great. Yes, snow is fun...but only for the first few moments. LOL We got so much this year, I am done with it and ready for spring, but I am so happy for all my southern friends that never get any snow to finally get some this season. Enjoy it!

Awww Steph! Look at all the snow you guys got *tear*. We were supposed to get 3-5 inches and we got NOTHING! So sad! Brea was so looking forward to playing the next morning and when we got up and it was nothing she started crying. Poor thing. LOVE your pictures - you got some really good ones. I think we have given up on the hope of snow here in Columbia. Did you see the weather report for this weekend? Pushing 80 degrees! What is up with that!! LOL

Cute pics! We didn't get as much snow as you guys...maybe 2 or 3 inches if that. However, we were out of school today and Greenville County is on a 2 hr delay for Wednesday. I've had enough "snow days"...it's time to get back to the routine.

I love the pictures.. I wish Leala could experience snow, but maybe we'll get our big once every 5-7 years snow next year! :)

Looks like yall had a great time too. I was also worn out from dressing and undressing all day.

Stephanie said...

How fun is that?? And I don't know what you would do to those pictures. They look awesome. I am ready for some snow to have a snow day with the kiddos.

Isn't it a pain in the tush?! All that work of getting them dressed to go out and then they want to go right back in 10 minutes later. Arghh!! :)

Looks like your whole clan had a ball though. Snow is probably a lot more fun when you don't get to see it very often!

Looks like your little ones had tons of fun!
I know exactly what you mean. We get a few inches of snow every three years or so down here. I don't know how mommies who live where it is really cold do it. We don't even have to buy the girls heavy winter coats.
I do wish we would get some snow this year. We have only had flurries since our youngest was born (almost 2 years!) and I need some baby snow pics!

Such great pics! Looks like they had a blast!

Hi! I stumbled across your blog from McCrackensx4 and when I saw this I got a kick out of it. We are in SC, near Clemson and had a BLAST in the snow. I took a few pictures and posted them when the snow started but by the next day it was so much better. My kids had fun in it too. I like you blog and I'll be checking back. :)
