The southern snowstorm

Yes, we got it. And boy, was it cool.

Will was again ridiculously excited. But the real story today is Laila. She was feeling much better today (finally!), for one. For two, during the light dusting of snow we got earlier this week, she was in school and it was gone by the time she was out. So today, was really her very first snow EVER.

That's right -- the kid was born in Louisiana, remember? So she was a bit confused and mystified. She'd of course seen representations of snow on TV, but I do think she was surprised at how COLD the white stuff really is. But she took Will's cue. He stayed out for quite a while, and I only let Laila out for a few minutes. But it was her first snow, and it was fun.

Hilarious! I'm so SICK of snow - it's funny to see kids without snowsuits! Owen packs his every day for school, but it has to be above freezing to play outside - all of two days this whole winter so far! Glad someone's still loving the white stuff!
