Freaks of Nature

Yesterday there was a remarkable event in Austin… snow. We don’t usually see much snow around here, perhaps just a flurry or two from time to time. There isn’t typically much accumulation on the ground, particularly this late into winter.

Here are  my little Cookie and Pumpkin making their very first snowman (pathetic, I know). Although it is a little on the small side, it was enough for them! The only real problem we noted was their lack of gloves… we never had a reason to buy them any before. Both of them were freezing by the time we went inside, but they still had to be coerced into the house. They probably could have walked in it, ate it, threw it and looked at it until their fingers fell off.

It was especially weird because we were outside just three days ago in short sleeves enjoying the 60+ degree weather. Then two days later, it’s snowing?!?! And then the very next day, most of the snow has melted and the sun is shining! Weird…
