That White Fluffy Stuff

Dudes........



........it snowed. For real. In Mississippi.

It started late night on the 28th and it literally COVERED THE GROUND!

We were so excited.

We had had predictions of it but you know how weather men are. They're usually wrong.

But, nope.

Not this time.

We had SNOW!!!!!!

It actually snowed last year around this time, too.

LOML claims it's her early birthday present from Mother Nature since her birthday is next week.

I don't disagree with her.

This was Max's first snow.

I had to take a video to commemorate the occasion.






And, as usual, I had to take tons of pics.


Here's Max. He found himself some trash. No surprise there. The yard is usually littered with crap he's found.

He looks so proud of himself.

Here's LOML all bundled up. Look at those rosy cheeks!

I love the look of holly berries and snow. The epitome of winter in my opinion.







Here's LOML and our dogged attempt at a snow-person. We named her Gloria. Gloria has since passed on. Or Max ate her. One of the two.

If you look at my header, you'll see this is the same path that you can see through the window. I love the view from LOML's room.

Here's LOML making a snow angel.

Here's the result. She was so proud.

I triple dog dared her. She accepted. I didn't have the heart to tell her that the car is fiberglass and not metal. Shhhhhh!!!!

Here's the view of our house from the other side of the highway. Look at all that snow!

We had such a blast.

My mom collected some snow and made snowcream. She used milk, vanilla and sugar. It was delish.

Here's a vid of LOML eating snowcream.

Mom then made homemade pancakes, sausage and eggs for us. We decided to make it a snow day and stayed in our p.j.'s for almost the entire day.

I will say that as much fun as it was, I could NOT handle that day after day. All that tracked in snow and mud? No thank you.

In other news, I got a call from a friend last night with some awesome news. The Army captain just found out that he's going to be company command of the 122 men in Charlie company. This is a HUGE milestone for him in his Army career and I'm so happy for him. He sounds excited about this milestone. He gets a ceremony and everything. I am sooooo proud of him. He's come such a long way since high school. His news put a smile on my face and it hasn't left yet. I love it when good things happen to people I care about. Of course, the downside to this means that he's going to Afghanistan in late summer. That I don't care for, but it's where he wants to be. So, I'll suck up my fear and support him in every way possible. I forsee lots and lots of letters and care packages over the next year.

I am bummed about one thing.

My friend Jess over at This Life Is Mine is gone for a WHOLE WEEK!!! I don't know if I can stand it.

She's my rock when I'm at work.

Sigh.....Jess.....come back soon. I'm bored.

Have a good Tuesday everyone!

Later,

Mama "The Snow" Dawg
