We got white stuff! We had a forecast of possible rain/snow today and well, you proud of yourself Mr. Weather Widget? You were spot on. Reza had a friend over for a sleep over last night and I was woken up around 2:30 a.m., I peek out and it had already dusted. But this morning I was woken by the dog who had to pee and promptly left her yellow stain out on the snow covered lawn.

The girls woke up in full blown excitement, wanting to head out at 7:30 to go play. Already geared up we said “No way ladies! Breakfast comes first”. I notice it starts raining and it was kinda melting it down a tap so we unleashed their 5 year old fury out into the back yard. They were out struggling to make a snowman (and promptly lost interest) so I decided to gear up in my Michelin Man jacket and boots to help them and to take photos.

I was promptly ganged up on by Reza and Maya and it turned into my shoveling and flinging snow at them, then out of left field Reza totally creamed me across the face with a snow ball. Josh, who was watching all of this from the kitchen window was laughing his ass off! It was my first snowball fight. I lost.

Dare I say it wasn’t as terrible as I thought it was going to be. Granted it is only about 25 degrees but with the right gear it isn’t nearly as horrible. I feel like I blew it up to be this big monumental thing, kinda like when you get laid for the first time and when it finally happens you’re left going, “Really? That was IT?”

We came inside shortly after, the girls got warm, Josh is on the couch while the kittens play around and showing Nena who will soon be boss of the house. It’s such a trip to look out the window and see a sea of white, it almost warms my black heart.

Almost.
