We Had Snow!

 Well, we had snow.  There was snow when I awoke this morning.  And, there was snow last night. 

 However, the only snow remaining now is on the deck in the shade.  It has all disappeared.

 I'm glad today was a school holiday because otherwise Lil wouldn't have had an opportunity to go out and play and enjoy it. 

I sent her out as soon as she was finished with breakfast.  Beanie and Brien went with her. 

 She and B lobbed snowballs at one another, and Bean just tried to figure it all out.

It's hard to play in the snow when your mittens are too big.

Problem solved.

I had snow ski pants put away for Lil, and although they were a size four and too short, they did the trick keeping her dry.  I wish I could say the same for Ellie-roo. 

The boys are inside kitties.  I don't want them to go out--too many dangers (roaming tom cats and such).  They, however, don't seem to agree with this line of thinking and are constantly sitting at the backdoor if someone is outside. 

Figuring they wouldn't much care for the cold and wet, I let them out.  Fred ran back to the backdoor crying and begging to come in. 

George?  He couldn't wait to go bounding through the snow!  He rolled around in puddles and played with Holly.  I couldn't believe it.  :shakes head:

B took a quick pic of the boy's foot-paw-print as well.  Why not?

B and I have spent the day cleaning and decluttering.  He's making major progress in the offudio and I've cleaned bathrooms and the kitchen and done laundry and ironed and vacuumed. 

Cinder-Lily cleaned the kitchen floor (her request) and it looks fabulous. She's now working on her bedroom.  It's a cleaning and organizing sort of day.  Well, all except for Miss Bean who has steadily been undoing all our best efforts...

Sparklies:

1.  Snow!!!!
2.  A day off from school so the snow could be enjoyed.  Otherwise, given the clear roads, there is no way there would have been a snow day.
3.  The snow lasted just long enough to be played in.  Now, the daffodils can continue to do their daffodilly thing without being frozen to death.
4.  Getting a grip on the house once more.
5.  Home an extra day with my family. :o)

Milestones:
I always miss my girl when we have snow.  I miss watching her move around from place to place tasting different patches.  She so loved the snow.  I know she would have had a blast out there with her sisters and the cat.
