Snow Day!!

We got about an inch of snow!! It was enough for us to have fun!
What else to we do in Alabama, but find a hill to "sled" down! The clock tower hill across from Academy and Hobby Lobby worked for us!
ALABAMA STYLE!!

Using pool floats actually worked very well. The kids seemed to enjoy it! We just needed a little more snow to go really fast!

The floats even work, if you don't blow them up!

building our "family" snowman!!
We enjoyed the snow and was excited to see it, but I am thinking that I am glad that it doesn't snow here very often!

2. I didn't know how little I actually knew!

3. I didn't know that I could love someone with every ounce of my being.

4. I didn't know that that person I love with every ounce of my being could drive me so crazy!

5. I didn't know that I would actually miss reading Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel for the millionth time.

6. I didn't know that I could have so many hopes and dreams for one person.

7. I didn't know that a little person would go through so much laundry (and still do that since they are older.)

8. I didn't know that such little people could make me feel so guilty.

9. I didn't know that Barney would actually be welcomed in my house and car.

10. I didn't know that the bathroom would become my favorite place....until they find me anyway.

10. I didn't know that I would actually turn into my mother, even though I know now that is not such a bad thing!
