We have had a fun weekend. Yesterday we had a couple of the kids' friends over for a play date. It was a whirlwind of a play date having two 4 year old boys and two 2 year old girls. When Everett and Cary got here, Pressley came running from the back of the house as Cary ran toward her from the front door and they met in a huge embrace. It was the cutest thing ever. And just when you thought it couldn't get any cuter, Pressley took her hand and they started up the stairs together. P: "Do you want to see my bed? It is pretty. It is riiiiight here!" Before long, Evan and Everett were dressed like superheros, doing what boys do (jumping off of everything) as the girls were both dressed like ballerinas with their clicky-clacky dress-up shoes and tiaras on. They had a ball.
Everett and Evan as superheroes.
Cary and Pressley as ballerinas. (Though P had already taken off her ballerina skirt.)Today, of course, was the snow. No one really believed there would be snow today since it was near 70 yesterday. And those who did believe there would be snow scoffed at the idea that it would stick. We could not have been more wrong. This is the most snow we've seen in a while. Corin and Evan had a ball in it. They made a snowman and went sledding. Pressley got all bundled up and went out onto the porch. She even ventured approximately 2 steps down the front steps. Then she was done. I got all bundled up and went out to take photos of the merry-making. Then I came in to get carrots and raisins for the snowman. Then I was done. P and I watched cartoons and made hot chocolate for the cold, wet boys.
The boys stayed out long enough that when Evan came in to put on dry clothes, we had to do a bit of Internet research on frostbite. His feet and ankles (and bottom, for that matter) were BRIGHT red and he was crying hysterically saying that his feet itched. Corin took one foot and I took the other and we rubbed them with aloe until he calmed down; then put two pairs of socks on him. Minutes later, he was ready to go back out. Boys!

You described the reaction to weather forecast perfectly, I was dressed in jeans & thick soled shoes for Sunday a.m. church just in case; sure enough it came true before I could leave BBC at 12:30. 11:25 mix or rain & snow, 12:30, SNOWING & pretty hard (for ATL). It was beautiful. Also, P is such a big girl coming in SS now, walks right in, no looking back.
