Snow!!!

Most of my "readers" are from DFW or OKC, so I don't really need to tell you that we had a record snowfall on Thursday. 12"!!! It was really kind of surreal. The ground was already covered when we woke up on Thursday and it never stopped snowing until after we went to bed that night. We didn't really get out to play while it was snowing, but yesterday was the perfect snow day. The wind wasn't blowing, the sun was trying to come out and there was the thickest snow to play in that I have ever seen, outside of Colorado. Meg LOVED it! She couldn't care less that besides her raincoat and rain boots, none of her warm clothes were water proof. She was soaked and frozen....I felt like a terrible mom, but she insisted that she wasn't cold and that she didn't want to go inside. We played in our neighborhood for a while and then headed to a hill near our house to "sled". We had seen a ton of people out there the night before, but we didn't brave it while the snow was still falling. Unfortunately, I didn't take my camera with us. I am pretty sure it may have been on the list of things I am not supposed to do while pregnant, but it was a lot of fun and I was fairly cautious. Meg of course, laughed and giggled the whole way down each and every time, which was priceless. I love to hear the joy in her voice when she gets so excited like that. Unfortunately she went ballistic when it was time to go inside. Crying crocodile tears for 30 solid minutes, which is unusual for her short attention span. I don't usually show sympathy when a fit is thrown, but I did feel bad since she never gets to see or play in the snow. After a warm bubble bath with Mommy, everything was better. That always works!
