If you saw my last post then you already know that it snowed here last Sunday. Brinley has been asking for snow since Thanksgiving! Our kids have never known a winter without snow & I don't think Trinity was fully convinced it was winter because of the lack of fluffy freezing white stuff! As soon as the flakes started to fall the kids were out the door. I have a few videos of them playing, but I don't know if I'll be able to post them or not. One is of Brinley running around the yard singing, "I love the snow! I love it when it snows, when it snows at my house!" pretty darn cute!
It snowed pretty much through the night & we woke up to a true winter wonderland.
Trinity was off to school and Brinley could barely contain herself she was so excited to get out and play. She and Grayden were bundled and out the door by 8:30 am!
Grayden wasn't too keen on having snow in his face-can you blame him?
Once he realized that he was making foot prints in the snow he started yelling out, "Look at my foot prints Mom, look they are mine!" (Poor kid has to wear his sisters' hand-me-downs. First it was hot pink gloves & then on went the magenta snow pants! Honestly, he wasn't bothered by it in the least.)
Little man cleaning the snow off of Brinley's car; what a gentleman. I asked them if they were ready to come in and Brinley replied, "No, I'm just gonna stay out here and wait for Trinity to get home from school." (that was about 6 1/2 hours away) I chuckled and went in the warm house while they played some more. Man, I love having a fenced back yard!
When Trin got home she was just as excited to have some time in the snow, but Brinley was all snowed out! (The rigorous job of getting kids in and out of snow clothes is an event in itself!)
Lucky for her Grayden was willing to come outside and be a moving target for her to practice throwing snow balls at. We went over all the "rules" of throwing snow, no throwing at faces, no throwing if you are standing too close, etc, etc. Two seconds later Grayden had snow in his face :( It was all in good fun, so I nicely told Trin NO MORE snowballs.
She turned around with that look in her eye and I thought for a minute I was safe. I was wrong. Just after I snapped this picture she launched the snow. I guarded my camera as if it were my own offspring, and we were running from live shrapnel of a grenade! She managed to get me in the back, and obediently threw no more snowballs.
As glad as I was to go so long without snow and all the miserable side affects that come with it; freezing cold, slushy muck, wet socks & shoes, slippery dirty floors. I have to admit, it was beautiful to see our new surroundings in their clean white winter coat.

p.s. are you going to change the 2010 on the top of your blog to 2011? just something I wonder about whenever I see your blog.
Those are very cute pictures. We got a lot of snow too. I love the video. Everybody look so tall to me. They are very cute. I miss them!
Sophie was ECSTATIC to see the picture of Brinley making a snow angel. She said, "Look mom, it's Brinley! She makes snow angels too!!!" I am incredibly jealous of your fenced yard, so nice!
