We remember it. We hear about chances of it. But we never get it. That's right....snow. The last few years we have not gotten more than a dusting. But every year we hope. Anytime there is a 20% chance or higher, we get our hopes up. But it seems every year we are disappointed. I don't know which is more appealing to my kids: the thought of going out and playing in the mysterious, fluffy stuff, or just getting out of school. Every year the county builds in snow days and every year we don't get to use them.
This snow was a little more than a dusting, maybe not quite an inch. We'll take it. The first day Allie and the little kids played a some in the dusting we got. They just ran out in their jeans and tennis shoes and didn't last long. Then the next morning we woke to falling snow. I happen to have snow boots and bibs that fit Tanner, Connor and Sydney. So this time we got serious for our little powdery mix. They stayed out much longer and hopefully feel like they weren't jyped this year.
Making snow angels in the dust
Taking mini-snowman on a ride
Building a little snowman seemed to be a good idea
Right before Connor put a mouthful of snow in his mouth he asked: "Is this snow fresh?"
Hot Chocolate time!

great post. i was just thinking: i wonder if they made a miniature snowman, and then i scrolled down and - behold!
mittens lori? is TN snow even cold anymore? i heard it was kinda just cool.
I was cracking up at the snow angels myself. Those are the saddest snowangels i have ever seen. A weird trifecta today: all 3 of my sisters' blogs have *cracked* me up today at lunch.
