Snowy Days

 We had another ice storm and it was once again highly anticlimactic. I wish I could take credit fro this beautiful picture though. Isn't it magical? Michelle (my next door neighbor) captured this beauty from her back window.

 By teh time I had gotten out there the sun was too high in the sky. Twinkle twinkle. 

 We got a few terrifying icicles, that Mama promptly knocked down after taking a picture. 

 The kids were excited to play in it. 

 And E made a snowman. It's times like these that a yearn for the north. I want at least two feet of snow with sunny crisp days so we can build a ligit snow man or even an igloo. My G-pa made us an igloo one year and I played outside for hours. We carved out a table and a chair and I had my lunch outside and made up a pile of snowballs to defend my home from intruders. Maybe one year we will go to Canada in March to play in the snow. 

 Until then I will savor these few days a year and be thankful that we even get snow at all.
