A Marshmallow World

Guess what we woke up to this morning?



That's right, snow! I assume someone heard mine and the kiddos wishes, since we've been hoping that we'd get to see at least one last snow before we had to move to sunny Arizona.

Mostly, I want to get at least a bit of use out of the millions of dollars I spent on winter attire last year (ok, so not millions of dollars. But I spent the better part of spring stocking up on clearance winter clothes for this time of year).



The kiddos rushed to put on their coats and snowboots (over their jammies) to get the newspaper at 7 o'clock this morning. I would like to apologize to any neighbors that my children awoke with their squeals of delight.



Then, because I am the awesomest-posemest mommy ever, I let them go out and play in the fluffy stuff a bit before school.




And then they went off to face the day with soggy gloves.

But hey, we made a memory, right?

Snow's Grand Introduction

Yes, today was the first day of snow.

Even though I am not looking forward to a season full of unpredictable Utah weather, I couldn't help but feel the glee when I let Snickeys out this morning and saw the fluffy stuff floating down.

In fact I ran downstairs to alert the rest of the fam.

And trust me, it takes a lot to run in the morning (like, I've been known to mosey to bloody children if it happens too early in the morning- bad mommy? Perhaps).

Anywho, I yelled for everyone to come up and see.

The girls were so excited they ran out into it, and luckily I had the sense to call them back in so as to not ruin their recently done hair.

P.G., on the other hand, wasn't quite sure what the stuff was.


I couldn't get a good enough setting on my camera to really capture the moment, but I guess I'll be satisfied with this pic.

And I wanted to share Adi's rockin' boots that I got for her about 7 months ago on clearance here
I love shopping online there!

She sure thinks that she is something great in them!
