Snow Day

We were supposed to have accumulation. One last hurrah before the onset of spring and our return to Arizona. My kiddos were ecstatic. Eamon bounded out of bed early to check outside. No snow yet. Their afternoon gem class was cancelled; the library and all city offices were closed. Daddy even worked from home. Everyone was prepared for S N O W!

And snow is what we had throughout the day. Big, fluffy flakes of snow fell from the sky. We gathered on the balcony to snatch a few as they fell. We cuddled under blankets reading, drawing and watching movies. The kiddos dreamed of snowballs, snowmen and sledding. We watched to see how many inches we would have. Their spirits fell a bit as the snow quickly melted as soon as it hit the ground. They were hopeful. But no accumulation this time, just the beauty of watching it fall, which is sometimes enough for this desert crew.
