Snow!

Now this post may seem a little silly to those of you in the North who have been snowed in for the last three days because of your blizzard, but hey, this is the best we can do! In hindsight I really should have taken pictures while I was at work because there was WAY more snow during the day, but by the time Will and I got home to play in it there wasn't as much in our yard. Oh well, it was still plenty for our taste! :)

Houston had one of those rare moments a week ago -- there was snow on the ground! Snow of any kind of measure had not fallen here for about 5 years, so it was pretty exciting for all the kids and native Houstonians. Those of us that fled that kind of weather when we moved here were less impressed and more concerned that we would have to share the road with the inexperienced Southern drivers. But all survived and it really was a beautiful day. Even better was the fact that it was gone quickly with no slush, ice, or other residual snow nastiness!

Will tried to play in the snow a little, but then his hands got cold and he got a little confused. He kept looking at me and saying "ahhh! cold! ahhh!" because his hands hurt from the snow...but then I tried to get him to go in or wear mittens and he would say "no, no..."



So we went back to what we understand -- sand! Even in the snow he tries to go to the beach -- that's my boy!
