It doesn’t happen often, but when it does the kids love it. We haven’t told them what real snow looks like. They think this is it.
They also think that a raincoat and pink cowboy boots are appropriate attire for “snow” days.
A favorite activity: jumping on the trampoline with snow. As in, the snow jumps with you.
Not-so-favorite activity: trying to sled down the muddy driveway on a rubbermaid lid. Lydia’s face says, “See? I told you it wouldn’t work.” Kaitlyn is smirking with her back to Lydia: “I can’t believe she really tried it.” Becca is thinking, “Wait. I think we should keep trying.”
Rabbit tobacco:
I didn’t know rabbits smoked. Do they have to be 18?

One of my cousin’s friends tagged a picture of them playing in the snow today in shorts, t-shirts, and the real kicker, BARE FEET.
I will not feel sorry for any of them if they get sick.
the trampoline looks like extra fun on a snow day!
I live on the gulf coast, which I think is the only part of Texas to not get any snow today.
Oh dear. If you think this is a good idea you can show your kids this link:

There is so much snow this year in my hometown that people are digging tunnels to get through. Too bad we can’t send any via e-mail to you…
Jennifer, I can beat that. Every time it snows around here (fairly often) at least one, usually more, idiot friend posts a picture of herself in a bikini in the snow. *sigh*
I think trampolines are more fun when it snows too.
You all have got to take a trip north during winter sometime so those children can play in “real” snow. That being said, I remember living in San Antonio and being excited that the rooftops had a dusting of snow on them and that there was a light layer on my garden areas. When we moved north to Michigan our budget didn’t much like having to buy shoes more substantial than flip-flops.
We got more snow than that!
Up on the north end, they had enough to make snowmen!

I could totally live with that amount of snow!
love the “let’s slide down the muddy driveway”! that sounds like something we would try to get our younger sibs to do…
We over here in East Texas got 4in.!!!! Last week while my mom drove me over to my piano lesson, she remarked that our town of 20,000 must have increased by 5 or 6,000 due to all the snowmen in everyones front yard. 3 days later however the snow melted, weather changed, and we were all enjoying the 70 degree weather. Ahhh, alas, Texas is a strange place to live.
