Snow, Snow, We Love Snow

Woohoo! More Snow! We have been waiting for it to get here. I realize that I am a week late on this blog, but what can I say. No excuses. Okay...just one. My computer!! Enough said. It is only about 50 years old (maybe just 10), but it was such a blessing when it was given to us for free. Anyway, something has happened to cause the internet to not work. Even the Comcast technician couldn't give me appropriate jargon as to the problem. Needless to say, I am now at the mercy of Greg and his computer.

Back to the snow...and more explaining. I realize most of you probably don't watch the "Backyardigans." Too bad for you. You just don't know what you are missing. After a month and a half of the winter cartoon and the song, "I love snow, I love snow," blah, blah, can't remember the rest of the words, that was the only thing going through my head for the title. And now the moment you have been waiting for...the story line. So we woke up March 1st to a winter wonderland. How fun! We did know it was coming, but we aren't morning people in this house. We didn't get outside early enough to get the really good pictures. John Reagan didn't care. He had plenty of fun! He wouldn't wear his winter boots outside. He had to have "the" cowboy boots.

A nice picture of the circle after all the kids in the neighborhood ran wild on the snow. I can't believe no one had a snowman in their yard or in the circle. What is up with that? We got enough snow for a decent snowman.
I know you probably don't care about the vehicle pictures, but this was Greg and John Reagan's source for snowballs. And we got way more snow than the build up shows. Melting has already began to set in.
John Reagan throwing a snowball. Can you see it?
If not, here is another look for you. He just can't let go of that juice.
This is where the gloves went in case you were wondering. I wish I would have had the camcorder out filming John Reagan rolling snow for the snowman. He wanted to keep adding to the snowman. I don't know where the eyes, nose, and mouth are. That is a question for Greg!

Evie didn't think too much of the snow. She hates when the wind blows in her face, and she makes the funniest faces when it does. Needless to say, she didn't care anything about checking out the snow. It was too windy for her pretty little face. Please excuse the snot running down the face.

The backyard! This way he could run loose without us having to freeze too.
He was having so much fun kicking up the snow with those awesome cowboy boots.

Duchess and Max are both very fond of the snow. Duchess doesn't look very white in the snow.

Time to warm up. I am coming to the conclusion that John Reagan might be a model in training with this pose.

Our backyard doesn't get a full day of sunlight, so we still had a good bit left over on Monday. John Reagan and I went to play some basketball in the backyard, but as far as he was concerned, that wasn't happening. He wanted to stomp around in the left over snow. He kept strutting by me saying, "I have to keep my hands in my pockets." He didn't want me putting gloves on him.

I am sorry if the pictures are a little blurry. I dropped my "big girl" camera (as Kristen calls it) and jammed the lens back in February. So now it only works on manual focus, and I can't zoom in and out with the lens. I have to move my rear now instead of the lens. Man, it's a lot of work...just joking. We are having to make do until we get our new lens ordered, and sometimes when I don't get close enough, the picture turns out blurry. I will say, not everything is falling apart in this house. Lots of stuff still works. Thank God!
