The flurries started as we left church last night. All four kids had a blast trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues!
We woke up this morning to a Winter Wonderland!

Well, Winter Wonderland being a relative term.....but this Michigan native has no intention of making light of two inches of snow in South Carolina. Hey, we just spent four years in Florida.....two inches of snow is the best thing since Christmas for my kids!
We even built their very first snowman:

For those who are paying close attention, Anna is indeed wearing "inside" clothes. She had already gotten cold and wet and so went inside to warm up.....but she came running out to pose with Frosty!
We even learned about "yellow snow" thanks to Coco our dog!

As an aside, Drew is dressed in his warmest clothes.....not exactly what you'll find up north, but hey! He was nicely layered, if a bit colorful!
Now everyone is inside, drinking hot chocolate and thinking about going out again as their neighborhood friends venture out. Apparently, the public schools have a snow day today. My kids will still be doing some school work......they have such a mean homeschool mommy!

A snowday for 4 inches of snow??!! LOL! Though I will say that if it snowed like that in Florida, I don't know that anyone would leave their house!
Looks like a winter wonderland to me... I have not seen snow in 4 years, and poor Rebecca has NEVER seen snow that she remembers!

my friend - you'll have to come visit us in NY next winter - we'll let the kids do all the fun snow things! Mine keep asking if they can learn how to snowboard once we move!

Really I do. Being a new england native living in Fl, MS and now KY, I understand the significance of 2 inches of snow. The only time I've seen 2" of snow in the past 10 years is when we've gone home to visit. We went home for Christmas and had 3 feet at one point. The kids were absolutely crazy about it. Looks like your children had fun even if they did have to scrape all the snow off the ground to make the snowman! lol
