A Cold Treat!

What a real treat the snow was this past weekend! It was the good kind of snow that we are not use to seeing in Georgia. IF we get snow in Georgia, it is usually wet and slushy or icy. We all enjoyed playing in the snow. Marshall was out of town, so we enjoyed the snow in Jonesboro.

Homemade waterproof shoes were a hit! Hank would not put anything on his hands. He would play in the snow and cry. I'd wipe his hands off, and he play and cry. We kept repeating until he finally went inside saying, "hand cold, hand cold."

Charlie wanted waterproof mittens to go with his waterproof shoes. He made snowballs and stomped in the snow. He ran around outside yelling, "Happy New Year!"

Charlie was determined to make a snowman. By the time Pappy returned home with Granny, the snow had started to melt, but not before Charlie had Pappy take him and Hank to buy REAL waterproof boots and build a snowman. Pappy taught Charlie how to roll giant snowballs. Charlie and Pappy made Granny two snowmen outside of her bedroom window as a welcome home present.

Charlie was so excited about the snow that he kept saying, "It's winter. Happy New Year! Merry Christmas! Let's get presents." He came into drink hot cocoa. He and Pappy went out again Saturday evening to shovel sidewalks at the church. Charlie slept like a rock.

The snow was gone much too soon!
