On Sunday, we were at a baseball scrimmage enjoying the beautiful, sunny, 77 degree afternoon. After practice, we were making plans for the next baseball practice and the coach said we needed to wait and see what would happen with the snow. Yes, the elusive snow that usually comes to Waco every few years. It sort of made me chuckle.
The next few hours, a strong wind came in from the north and wrecked our Sunday evening picnic. It got colder and colder and yesterday morning, beautiful huge flakes begin to fall from the sky! I quickly went out and saw my patient and prepared for an afternoon at home.
My mother came over for lunch, since her office had closed down, and Lauren and the boys came over following an early release from Mother's Day Out. My kids joined the party at 12:30, and we enjoyed several hours of snow ball throwing, snow angel making, sliding down snowy slides, and snow ice cream making fun!
Then, for a few hours, each kid played with one of their best friends. Matthew went over to his buddy, Ethan's house. Mary Beth and Thomas kept changing houses with their friends, Whitney and Justin. The boys were outside and the girls were in. Mary Beth tolerated the snow, but she was much more comfortable enjoying the snow in a cup on a beach towel in the kitchen!
Then, Bryon came home early, and SnowBowl 2010 began! My three boys are so funny, but if there is any change in the weather (well, in addition to any other time of the year), they love to pick up a football and run outside. Years from now, when the kids are grown, I think this memory of my kids will be one of the strongest. Such joy!
Yes, we played outside until there was no more light left. What a fun day full of great memories! Here's hoping for one more snow before Spring!
Fun Cousin time!
