Winter's Triple Threat

The Weather Channel had been predicting (at 100% chance no less) that it was going to snow a big major snowstorm in the Carolinas. 
Friday night it did in fact start to snow light, little snowflakes.
We went out and caught a few on our tongues before sending the kids to bed.

In the morning we found about 3 inches on the ground. 
And sleet coming down on top of that.
Lovely pellets of ice raining on us. 
Hurts so good, right?  Ha!

After a hour getting ready we went out.

The neighbor's dog, Jewels, was out and ready. 
She was so excited to see the kids.
Now she had someone to play with and knock over!



As I've previously said, we don't have a sled.
It seems a bit unnecessary when you only get enough snow to sled on maybe once a year.
This year we busted out the boogie board.
Snow is just frozen water, so it should work the same, right?





Isaac was pretty into the snow this year.


After playing in the front yard for a while, we moved to the back yard. 
Zelda and Jewels went crazy with each other!




Zelda loves the snow!
She ran and jumped and ate it.
Check out the slinger across her face with snow on her snout.
After we went in, she slept the rest of the day.


The kids discovered a big pile of snow at the bottom of their slide.
What's a kid to do but slide into it?



I love snow!
