Kate's Prayers were Answered

Last night before going to bed, Kate asked for it to snow during her prayers. Sure enough, she woke this morning to everything covered in white!! She turned to me and said, "I think God made it snow for me."


So we bundled the girls up and took them out into the winter wonderland this morning. Kate enjoyed shoveling with her sand shovel and trying to catch snowflakes. Lauren's primary goal was to try and stay dry...not very successful.

With the prediction of snow in the forecast yesterday, Mark went out and purchased a sled for the girls. We went to a newly developed neighborhood down the street and gave it a few test runs. Our sledding was somewhat brief due to the snow that is still falling and our lack of appropriate snow attire. Nonetheless, the girls enjoyed their first "true encounter" with snow.

Despite the fun had outside, the girls really enjoyed the hot chocolate and popcorn when we returned inside. I'm sure we'll venture out again before the snow melts in a couple of days.

Wasn't it fun? Ash enjoyed the snow until she came in with cold toes and cried the next 15 minutes. You'd think she had frostbite. Brennan hated the snow blowing in his face and resorted to passing out in the carrier face in (Keith had to work or else the wee one wouldn't have ventured out). Never went out again, thank goodness. We told Ash the fairies sprinkled snow overnight. We didn't have appropriate snow attire either. It was a throwback though to times up north. Hope to see you all soon!
