Snow...in March

I would say "It never snows in Arkansas in March" but I know for a fact it has before. On March 3, 1989 - exactly one year before I got married - it was sleeting and snowing as we called Brad's family to share our exciting engagement news. Other than that, the latest snow I remember was April 15, 1980 - I was in 9th grade and I believe it was a Sunday.

So, anyway - it snowed here on Friday. Annie was napping so Brad took the two big girls outside to play. They were so excited. They played with our next-door neighbor, built a snowman, and got very cold and very wet. When they came inside, they were just wailing because they were so cold and wet. I turned on the heater in the bathroom and drew them a warm bath telling them that when you're chilled to the bone nothing will warm you up like a bath. After their bath they put on fleece PJs and I fixed them hot cocoa - all was right with the world.

Of course - photos:

Ah! Finally!! We're outside in the snow!!!!!
