Can you believe that today is the fifth day that we have had snow on the ground in Mississippi? Very, very unusual for the deep south to say the least. The high for today is 35 degrees and is beginning to show some signs of melting, but tomorrow is predicted to reach 45 degrees and will surely melt our "snow" fun away. Because I don't believe tomorrow afternoon we'll have much snow left, I decided today that the kids needed to play in our snow one more last time before it is gone. After lunch we bundled up and headed outside to have "snow" much fun! For remember...it's not everyday that a kid in Mississippi gets to play in snow, and deep snow especially.
While the boys were busy digging up snow and piling it in the trucks, Olivia was occupying her time doing something I remember with great fondness doing as a child. She was pulling down icicles and admiring their beauty up-close. Icicles are so stunning to view and when in one's hand the beauty becomes even more breathtaking: glistening winter spiked jewels.
And so we say farewell to our long lasting snow of early January 2011. And now we wait with great excitement for our next "snow" fun.
That's fun that you brought the dump trucks outside. :) Sarah was enjoying the icicles yesterday.
