Global Warming...

Late yesterday afternoon, the announcement was made that schools would be closed today due to the potential severe weather that could be coming through the area. This happened last month, and no bad weather came. I was a bit annoyed at 5:30 this morning when Brad looked out the window and said, "No snow."....But then at 7:45 when I woke up again, it was snowing! The snow came down for a good while, but now it's all melted and life goes on. It was fun while it lasted.
When Anna Claire first woke up, she didn't want to go outside just yet, so she pulled up a chair and just watched the snow.

When she finally decided to venture out, she kept trying to catch some in her mouth.

Because the snow was melting so fast, there were plenty of puddles to jump in!

Anna Claire remembered making snow ice cream in Pampa, so she was insitant that we make some this morning. My explanation that there wasn't enough snow to do this was not acceptable. She asked for a cup and said she would collect enough snow to make the ice cream. I obliged and brought the child a cup. Needless to say, the snow melted as soon as it hit the cup, so she was able to catch some really cold water!
