Oh.......... the weather outside is frightful!

Schools were canceled before the first snowflake even hit the ground! Ok, you northerners, don't laugh! It's exciting when you live where snow is a once every ten year thing! When they forcasted several inches of snow for today, I didn't believe it. (I actually didn't even want it!) My children were excited though. I didn't rush out to the store to buy milk and bread. What is it about bad weather that everyone rushes out to get milk and bread? I have always thought that was funny. No, I sent Marc to the store to get hot chocolate! That makes much more sense!

Mariah was out singing to the top of her lungs as the first flakes came down.

Dad trying to retaliate after Matthew got him with a snowball.

Malachi was not impressed with the snow. He went back inside and watched a movie. (Smart kid!)

Malachi didn't have a heavy coat that fit him until a couple of weeks ago. (That should tell you a little about the climate here.) I found this coat at landsend.com It was regularly $56 and I paid $19! I love a deal like that, especially when it won't be worn much.

Now that I am looking at these pictures, they don't look as pretty as it does now. The snow is still coming down. Oh well.......... STILL looking forward to spring!

I am sure McKenzie will post lots more pictures on her blog. She has only taken about 100! :>)
