Flurries

After last year's freaky snowstorms, two little boys at our house had high hopes of sledding and snowmen again this winter.  As the season neared an end with nary a flurry-sighting, those dreams were quickly fading.  But, what's that??  Snow flurries in the forecast?  We all waited with bated breath.  The night got late with out any sign of snow.  We tucked sleepy, disappointed Boys into bed.  Around 10:00, my Mom texted me with some happy news: SNOW!!  I rushed into the Boys' bedroom.  O was just drifting off to sleep.  He was ecstatic when I whispered the happy news to him!  He bounded out of the top bunk, ready to head outside.  He was dancing around on the driveway, catching flurries on his tongue in no time!

Noah, on the other hand...The boy sleeps like a rock!  Probably because he has to sleep through 3-5 finger pokes a night.  I finally coaxed him out of sleep, bundled him up and carried him outside.  After a quick glance at the flurries, he decided he really needed his shoes on.  He ran back inside, never to be heard from again.  I found him tucked back in bed fast asleep.  He had no recollection of the whole thing the next morning.

O and I played in the very few flurries that were still falling until exhaustion set in and we headed to bed.  Sadly, that was our only snowfall for the winter of 2011/2012. At least we got pictures to remember it by!
