Our First Snow Was (is) a Doozy!

by the Provident Woman | December 9th, 2009

We had our first snow yesterday. It wasn’t just a little snow. There was A LOT of snow. Especially compared to our 60 degree days just weeks ago. And it only got worse.

The first things my girls wanted to do, once they found out school was cancelled, was to play in the snow.

It’s been a whole year since they did this last. So they had to come up with a game plan. They didn’t know where to start, how to play.

Kailey had to get a taste for it. Then she was ready to go.

The only problem she had was that her pants wouldn’t stay up. She shrinks when she’s in the snow. It’s like the wicked witch and water.

Kailey and snow.

Wait, the same thing was happening to Anya. My girls are melting. Get them out of the snow.

Oh no, it’s too late! The snow won.

Okay, exaggeration done. But seriously, don’t you want to throw a snow ball up Anya’s coat. It’s just asking for it.

You’d have to have pretty bad aim to miss that. I don’t think she’d forgive me though. She holds a grudge.

They decided it was cold after an hour. Anya came in shouting “I have frost bite”. She has no idea what that even is.

Just look at the mess they left me by the front door. I hope the washer is empty.

    It looks like they had fun but don’t you hate the clean up once everyone comes in? It’s like they get to relax and mom has a ton of work to do!

    I remember my sister’s and I having piles of wet pants, mittens, hats and boots like that-we would lay over the heat vents-brings back memories!

    We don’t often get snow but I do remember several times when my daughters were young we did get quite a bit. It was so much fun to watch them play in it…….clean up ~ not so much.

    Wow did that bring back memories! We grew up around snow everywhere we lived as kids. I don’t get a lot where I live now – once every few years or so – there is hope for it this year, tho! I can’t wait!!!!

    Snow is so much fun!

    How much of the white stuff did you get? In my area, we were socked — 17″! DD went out for fun, but I had to keep DS in because he’s fighting a bad cold and his nose was really runny that day.

    Very cute posting….it’s such fun to watch the delight on little kids faces playing in the snow!
    I hated it when we moved to Kansas from the far north years back and the kids were much younger ( all grown up now ) and I had my first encounter with winters here. Snow and Mud just don’t mix nor can you just hang up and let dry till the next outdoor adventure with the crazy freezes and thaws here. My washer never saw so many loads of winter outwear from there on. Grew up in northern Minnesota and you only wash your winter outer wear once. You haul it out of storage in the Fall, wear it till spring, give a washing and then store away till the next winter season. Only time during those winter months they would maybe see the clothes dryer because they were so soaking wet but that was rare…because it was so so cold out nothing had a chance to really get wet.
