We got snow last night! Not enough to cancel work or school, but enough to snarl traffic and make travel around here hell for the morning commute. Fortunately, that's not something I need to worry about just yet.
The girl came downstairs first this morning and had no idea it had snowed. I told her to go look out the window, and she looked at me in disbelief. She ran to the window, then yelled up the stairs to Benjamin that it had snowed, and he should come down and see. Of course, feet immediately pounded down the stairs, and their voices rose about two octaves in pitch and several decibels in volume.
I love the reminders of how much fun snow days used to be. This wasn't exactly a snow day - they still had to go to school - but they got outside and played in the snow for a little while this morning. It'll all be melted by this afternoon, so I'm really happy they got to enjoy it for a little while.
From what I've read, Little Rock has had one of the snowiest years since they started keeping records. That's pretty cool, but it also sets the bar pretty damn high for the kiddos. They are going to expect lots of snow every winter - good luck with that, kiddos. Chances are, it ain't gonna happen. But enjoy it when it happens.
