Snow Day!

Just a couple of days after our 81 degree weather, it snowed! Whenever I ask anyone about the weather here, people tell me one of two things, "If you don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes." or "The only consistent thing about the weather is it's inconsistent". I think I believe it. We've certainly had a lot of different weather since we've been here. I don't remember ever living in a place where it got to 81 degrees in March!

Last night it started snowing huge flakes (like I haven't seen here before). It was very pretty, and we would have enjoyed it even more had it been Christmastime, but the good news is, the kids finally got enough snow to make a snowman and they scored having school cancelled too! So, everyone except Eric, is getting a 3 day weekend. We had a good time out in the snow, and it wasn't that cold.

The picture above is my first attempt at digital scrapbooking. I've been learning how to use the Photoshop Elements program that Eric gave me for Christmas, and it is a lot of fun.

I'll post a some pictures of our cute "Sally Snowman" below.

Tessa and Jarem on their snowballs.

We're each sitting on the snowball we made.

I liked this picture because I was getting a picture of Tessa sitting on her snowball, and Jesikah just happened to be throwing a snowball in the background.

A picture of the big flakes coming down last night.

Here comes "Sally Snowman" as the kids named her.

I like this picture because it was a spontaneous picture of Jesikah and I looking at each other while we were putting our arms around the snowman. Alex took it before we were ready.

All of us with our snowman. It is a 4 ball snowman because we each made a snowball. Alex's camera has the wrong date for some reason?
