When the opportunity came that we would be moving to Colorado, the home of snow (so I thought), I was really excited. Well, when we got there it did snow, but not as much as I expected.
Come on, every time I visited, there was huge amounts of snow. Enough to ski on and it stayed the whole week and even snowed at least 3 nights or more while we'd be there. No one told me (yes, they did, I just didn't believe them) that not all of colorado was like this. Evidently NOT, it did snow and I did enjoy it. But it melted very soon after. So we moved.
Yes, it wasn't enough, so we moved to Kansas, where there is more snow.
Wait, what?
Okay, not really...
For the last three weeks on Tuesday or Wednesday the weather forecast said snow.
Guess what? Nope, it didn't.
Well, it did one of those days but it didn't stick.
This morning however, with no expectations of snow being in the forecast I awoke to SNOW!!! it was quite the surprise! One inch of snow and it was still coming down.
Haddie was just as excited and kept telling Eden, "Look, its snow men!" (I think she meantsnowing, but she does get confused)
After about an hour and half I got the girls ready to play outside in the snow. By that time it had added anouther 2 inches! Haddie was so very excited and immediatly got to work on her snow man! She ate most of him, but with a little help he was created. Eden on the other hand was not so sure about this snow men (snowing). She was interested in eating it, but then her hands got cold and she did not like that.
after about 30 min of torture for Eden I decided it was probably time to let her go inside. However, Haddie thought it more of torture to make her come inside then for Eden to be outside. Haddie's hands where even red and freezing, but she didn't care. She wanted to play, dance, leap, and enjoy the snow. But for the sack of whinny Eden, who hardly had red hands and thought they were going to freeze off, I bribed Haddie with Hot
Chocolate.
At the sound of Hot Choco.... She rushed by me nearly nocking Eden over to get her hot chocolate. If there is one thing Haddie loves it's snow, if there is one thing Haddie loves a little more then snow it's anything chocolate.
YES, she is my daughter completely, and yes, I think its inherited.
I know I didn't teach her that.... okay maybe.
Once inside with Hot (slightly warmed) Chocolate both my girls were very happy campers.
It is snowing now with the sun shinning, *sigh, it is so beautiful!
Thank you God, for snow!
