SNOW!!

To my shock, the snow didn't stop! It fell and fell for HOURS, and it was beyond beautiful! Now I know everyone in Kentucky is thinking, "You are NUTS!" but we don't get this here, not like we did today. I'd REALLY been wanting Sage to be able to really play in snow, and God granted that today.

Then we decided that chili would hit the spot, so we all made a trip to Walmart. Travis was off today, so it was a family affair. STILL snowing when we got there. Cars were covered. So, we made snowballs off the cars in the parking lot and hit each other all the way to the door. It was AWESOME! I'd never been able to hit Travis in the face with a snowball until today! He even got in the car with his pant's leg soaked where Sage hit him with another while he was loading up groceries. It was too funny.After some fantastic chili, Travis and Sage ventured out into the yard to make a SNOWMAN. Oh yeah, and this snow was perfect for it. You know the kind that packs just right? And Travis got out the ole wheel barrel, which Sage had a blast pushing.
I think Travis had just as much fun! They spent forever out there!
When bub woke up, I brought him out too. He's had a nasty cough and ANOTHER runny nose this week, so he's not feeling his best. He's still so cute. Notice Sage in the background with the wheel barrel.
My boy. You can't tell in the picture, but it was still snowing, and I don't think he liked it hitting him in the face.
She was all over the place. We have a GREAT yard for a day like today.
Us.
That's a big snowman! This is ALABAMA, folks!
The creators of Mr Snowman. I really had no part in it until it was almost done, and I still had no part. I just took pictures. Then I walked my name in cursive, which turned out to be too big for a picture, but it was fun.
And then they made 2 more. They played out there for a long time, much longer than Jaggar and I stayed outside. It was too cold for him with his cold/cough. Plus, Travis owed me a hit to the face with a snowball after I did that to him and then ran away. I knew Sage had stayed out too long when she came in kicking and screaming. I mean SCREAMING. Running through the house and SCREAMING. I couldn't get her to stop. She laid in the floor and kicked her feet. Apparently her hands had gotten too cold, and they were burning and wouldn't stop. This is pretty common if you've ever played in snow, but I had forgotten what it felt like. She reminded me in her academy award winning performance for "best fit thrown." BUT hey, we had snow, and it was still a great day!
