Snow Day?

Can you believe that we actually got a SNOW DAY?

True!

School was cancelled last Friday for a SNOW DAY!

We were so excited we could hardly stand it!

We waited and watched, and waited and watched some more.

Mostly all we saw was rain, rain, and more rain.

Finally around 1:00 in the afternoon, we got a phone call from a friend that there were snow flurries falling.

We burst outside ready for our Winter Wonderland in Florida!!!

Well.....needless to say, we were a little disappointed in the AMOUNT of snow, but technically we did have snow!

Micah examined the ground because he really wasn't sure about this actually being snow.



The prospect of throwing snowballs or making a snowman was near impossible, so Savanna and Micah decided it would be fun just to catch as many snowflakes as possible on their tongues.

As far as I'm concerned, I would much rather be playing in the white sand at the beach instead of the white snow ANY day. This cold weather is ridiculous!

Instead of a snow day, we had a pajama wearin', fire buildin', popcorn poppin', movie watching kind of day. We had a very fun and cozy time watching the first 3 movies in the Love Comes Softly series ~ which I would HIGHLY recommend. I kept thinking that they reminded me of Little House on the Prairie, which is my all time fav, and then I finally realized that they were directed by Michael Landon Jr. I can't wait til we can get our hands on the next movies in the series.

So much for snow pics, but good family memories were made none the less.

  1. We were hoping for snow! If the rain wasn't so nasty to drive in I would have taken the boys 45 minutes up the road to see it in Georgia. They got quite a bit!

  3. Mary~ We are FLORIDIANS!!! We don't know what in the world to do with snow! The school system cancelled school the night before because definite snow was in the forecast and NO ONE around here knows how to drive in even the littlest bit of snow. Nutty, I know! I guess it's the 'better safe than sorry' way of thinking.
