Never can say goodbye.

Brett and the kids take pride in having the last snow on the block! Last Friday afternoon, the day after we got all that snow, the three of them dismantled our snowmen and piled all the snow they could scavenge into a pile. Shaded from the sun, this spot near our giant bushes stood the best chance of keeping our snow frozen. The pile was about three feet tall on Friday, and today, this little mound is all that's left. But does anyone else around here still have snow in their yard?

All we're missing is the gold bikini...

Jabba the Snowman


These Star Wars fans decided we needed a snowman fashioned after this guy:
Maybe next time we can conserve snow and build a Snobi-Wan Kenobi!

Snow, Yo!

Katie's Rappin' Snowman

Jack Frost was chillin',
Katie was illin',
The mom who was rappin'
Would be way better at nappin'!

Work and play.


What's better than a snowball fight?
A fight with GINORMOUS snowballs!

One snowball left snow in Ryan's ear...

...so he got his revenge.

Katie ended up with snow in her hair!

Katie worked really hard on her snowman...

...and came up with some creative clothes for him!

Ryan went with a Star Wars theme.

Brett ended up doing the bulk of the work...

...rolling up some pretty big snowballs!

We were all frozen and exhausted by the time we headed inside. Sometimes it's hard work to play!

Yes and no.

Yes, it was neat to see snow on campus this afternoon. The students had a good time making snowballs (and then throwing them!), and one group of guys built a little snowman outside the band hall.

But no, I'm not a fan of snowy slush when I have to drive home in it!

Feelin' flaky.

Even though it's still not even below freezing, and even though the only accumulation we'll see is on our cars,
it's still fun when it snows!
Too bad most of the flurries came after dark. Without the camera flash, it was hard to see the snowflakes. Still, we liked getting this last(???) glimpse of winter in March.

KitKat must've been cold; she found herself a second coat!


Stay warm, everybody!
