The discussions began yesterday among my first graders about the possibility of snow in Houston. I was the total nay-sayer and said, “It is possible, but not likely.” Boy was I wrong! The day started with Molly praying for snow and wearing her “Let it Snow” shirt. Before I picked my students up from large group today I went outside and there was sleet. About 15 minutes later I heard a rumor about it actually snowing. I couldn’t believe it so I had to sneak down the hall and look out the door for myself. Sure enough, big, beautiful flakes were coming down. When I just couldn’t stand it anymore I lined them up and took them to look at the windows. So many of them had never seen snow before. It stopped by the time Molly and I left school without so much as a snowflake landing on her tongue. She and I went to dinner and again she prayed for more snow and when we left…it was snowing! She’s thinking at this point, she’s got the direct line to God!! She and I went home and after we finished making some Christmas caramels we looked out and it was snowing and blowing again! So of course we had to get bundled up (in our PJs!) and went out to play and take some pictures. Meg took a great video in car on the way home with her camera, but I can’t seem to get it uploaded. :0( For my blogger friends I get a red message that says it doesn’t meet “security” requirements?! Any ideas??? In the gallery below are pictures of our afternoon “accumuluation”, Molly in her shirt feeling all proud of herself, and some pictures I took tonight. You may have to click on the pictures to enlarge them so you can appreciate the “severity” of your snow storm!! :0)
