S-N-O-W 2011

The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event, you go to bed in one kind of world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?

Hoping for a Winter Wonderland tonight!


Last week, the meteorologist predicted 2-8" of snowfall starting Sunday, Jan. 9, for NE Mississippi.  All weekend everyone flooded the grocery stores to stock up on the usual--milk, bread, and eggs.  The snow began to fall around 5 p.m. Sunday afternoon. For those of you who really know Bo, know that this type of weather could almost compare to him winning the lottery.  So as soon as the snow began falling in Booneville, the Green's could do nothing more than to check out what was going on in town.


We stopped by Wal-Mart--and this is what the bread isle looked like



SNOW PARTY





 Lots of snow!




 Bo's fire



 Garrett's snow angel



 This was at about 10 p.m.  The ground was covered with just a few hours of heavy snowfall!!


After staying outside for a couple of hours, it was time to go inside and warm up...
 and ride the 4-wheeler,

and eat snow cream!

Daddy was one of the first out in our neighborhood Monday morning.
Walking Belle, of course

The weather report said we got 6" of snow, but our measurement said 9".  Either way, it was plenty!!


Monday morning beauty!!

Here are a few pics from our yard







 Getting ready to play!!




Our neighbors Mark and Easton Cartwright were out in full force on their 4-wheelers all morning.  Mr. Mark carried Bo and Garrett for ride.

 Getting the hill ready to sled


Covered in snow after sledding!



Here are a few video clips of sledding. 
I figured this out all by MYSELF!!  So if I can post a video, anyone can :)

 The snow came up to Belle's stomach.

 Working on snowman #2


 with Belle's help!


I thought the snow was beautiful in the trees!!


Needless to say, Monday night we were EXHAUSTED!!!



Tuesday, Jan. 11--Snow Day #2
 We stayed inside


 and played, 

 and warmed by the fire.


Later that afternoon, the sun finally came out!!

There are still signs of the big snow almost a week later.
FUN, FUN TIMES:)
