We had our first snow flurries back on the 9th of January. The kids thought it was the greatest thing ever! Addison enjoyed trying to catch the snowflakes in her mouth. Alex enjoyed just being outside in it. He was trying desperately to gather enough for a snowball. It started snowing around noon, right after we finished church. So we played outside for a few minutes before going in for lunch and Addison's nap. Alex asked me all afternoon if he could go outside and play in it. But the snow just didn't last very long, and it never accumulated. After a couple hours, it stopped snowing completely. Alex was just broken hearted that he didn't have any snow to play in. He was so disappointed! It was really sad. I tried my best to explain that we live in Texas and we just don't get that much snow. But he remembers last year, when we had that freak of a snow storm with a foot or so of snow. And then he kept asking me why we lived here and why we couldn't live where it does snow. I tried to be very diplomatic. But honestly, I hate snow and I'm quite glad that I don't have to mess with it! My gut says Alex might grow up to live someplace where it does snow. We'll see!
