March 1st and it is SNOWING!

It is funny how weather can change so fast. Yesterday morning, we spent quite some time in the hallway because of the tornadoes that were touching down around us. The weather was a nice 70. Today, however... quite different.... SNOW!

When we left for church, it had already been snowing for almost 3 hours. Because of the warm weather yesterday, it hadn't starting sticking much yet, but by the time we got home... the ground was covered! Amazing!

We started measuring in various spots around the yard (thanks to the free promotional ruler I got at work). The highest we found was 6 inches, but here is the ruler at one of the lower measurements: There were snow angels....There were snowball fights.... (Listen closely to this video... at the end you will hear Abigail screaming that Ruby is going potty. You know what they say... don't eat yellow snow!)

There was Ruby (who enjoyed eating the snow)...

There was a snowman.... or snow woman, since Abigail named her Abigail...

Abigail decided to have a talk with Abigail the Snow Woman after we were done with the pictures. It is a little hard to hear her here, but she is telling Abigail how pretty of a snowman she is. It think it is very sweet.

And, there was the southern man's sled (yes, that is a beach raft). I would call it the redneck sled, but Allan already coined that title when he sledded on toilet bowl seats in college (true story, I promise).

Here are the videos of the kids sledding. First was A.J. (our test run). Then, it was Abigail. At the end, you will notice A.J. tries to help her out, but when he can't push her, he resorts to what all good brothers do... just watch. (And by the way, we ended up taking them to the park to a bigger hill).

Allan went riding around town to get some more pictures (while the kids and I had a rest time). Here are few shots from around town, but some of the snow had started to melt by then.
