35/365...2011 Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!!

Friday was all that we had expected and all we had planned for!  It was the 3rd snow this year for NW Louisiana.  Who would have known? We got 3 inches of snow!  We moved from OH, IN and KY where there were tons of snow and sold my snow sled!  Now we are having to use Rubbermaid tops as a redneck sled!

Friday night I stayed up late like a child and waited for the snow, nothing.  I woke up at 3 am and it was beautiful coming down!  Savannah woke up at 8 am, expecting preschool.  I told her I had a surprise for her and asked her to close her eyes.  I led her to the front glass doors and told her to open them.  She said "Momma, this is what I always wanted". 

It was difficult to make her wait several hours to play in the snow.  But once she requested a fire in the fireplace she was perfectly fine.  We enjoyed watching all the birds feed at the bird feeder.  It took us what seemed forever to layer our clothes to get ready to go in the snow.  We played in the snow for only 30 minutes.  She loved eating it and trying to catch snowflakes. The day got even better when Eric came home early to hang out with us and start our weekend early! 

And guess what?  This is so crazy!  We are expecting 6 - 10 inches of snow between Wed and Thur of next week!  This town will completely shut down if this happens!  If we get this - what will they get in the Midwest?  All government offices and many stores and major roads were closed today!  Hmmm and we thought we lived in the warm sunny south!
