Snow and More Snow

The two inches of snow predicted to fall today somehow evolved into a winter storm warning. I don't know how much we are supposed to get once this storm passes, but it is quite beautiful and pleasant to watch while sitting inside the house in front of the fire. 

The scene inside the house, however, is not nearly as tranquil. With screams of "Lung Shot!" and "Right in the Spine!", the sounds of gun shots are resonating through the house. Wes's birthday present arrived in the mail yesterday, and since we are snowed in, the boys have spent the day playing Cabella's Big Game Hunt on the Wii.

The boys' infatuation with guns, the woods, and wild animals has not diminished since our return from Texas. If anything it has intensified. If it weren't snowing so hard, I would escape all of this testosterone. But I'm stuck so I will sit back and enjoy it all; even the slaps on the back with each big kill.

The snowman, with eyes made of croutons and a pipe made of string cheese, is the most beautiful of all.

Until Keagan killed him with a karate chop to the head.

Evan continues to mourn the loss.

Snow Day

We got our first snow today. The boys took the sled down the hill on the golf course and then came in for mugs of hot chocolate. I was content in knowing I could enjoy it from my window. However, the excitement and anticipation of getting snow was not lost on me. I realize this could be the last time we will see snow for quite some time; as much as I look forward to year around warm weather and the beach, I will miss the occasional snow day.
