Snow... AGAIN!!!

Can you believe two days of SNOW in Sin City?

Schools have already been closed for tomorrow, too!

School has not been closed due to snow in the 8 years we've been here and

I don't know if it's ever closed due to snow!

Ayodele didn't have school today due to conferences,

(he's doing very well by-the-way!)

so we went to the Library and the Dollar Store.

When we came out of the dollar store around 10am, it was SNOWING!

It was pretty wet, but it was coming down hard!

When we got home the boys wanted to run around

and try to catch snow flakes on their tongues!

Derek went to a friend's house after school to play in the snow with BIG kids

since it wasn't sticking at our house yet... then...

Around 2pm the snow actually started to stick to the ground!

So... coats and gloves back on and out we went!

It was so beautiful..

.

Ayodele built himself a tiny stash of snow so he could throw snowballs at me

and Kayode made a snowball and said, "I got you covered, Mom!" (How sweet!)

Shortly after Sade got home from school, I decided to take the kids to the park...

We drove to Desert Breeze Park where they have big hills for

Sledding and MORE snow!!!

The kids played, tried to sled down the hills

(we didn't have proper sledding supplies...IE. SLED!),

had a snowball fight and of course, made SNOW ANGELS!

Sade made her angel just before we got into the car so she

wouldn't be wet the whole time!

She didn't remember ever having made a Snow Angel!

Kayode wasn't so sure about laying down in the snow...

he was so cold by the time we were done!

But, he did make his very First Snow Angel!!!

Ayodele made three or four snow angels while we were at the park!

Every few steps, he'd lay back down and make another one!

We had a great time at the park!

It was so cool to hear the "crunch" of snow under our feet

and to watch the kids have so much fun in such "weird" circumstances!

Have you ever seen Snow on Palm Trees?

Maybe there is hope for a White Christmas after all!?!
