"Mt. Rainier called...


...and said it wanted it's snow back!"
That was Matt's joke first thing this morning. 

This is what it looked like out our backdoor:

It started snowing yesterday morning about 6 a.m. and didn't stop until this evening. Spokane hit a record of 19" during the first 24 hours. This afternoon Reagan and Kelsey played in the snow that measured 26" for about 2 hours.  





Maya likes playing in the snow too. She was playing in the footprints that Reagan and Kelsey left behind. She would probably get lost if she wasn't in their trail.
Matt was dying to take a flying leap into the snow. 

This is what Matt said about global warming: 
"Yeah the polar bears are moving south... they're coming to Spokane!"
and
"Let's go to the park to feed the birds... they're penguins!"
He tells these jokes to get a big laugh out of Reagan. She's thinks he's just hilarious.

Luckily Gwyn was taking her nap. The snow would have gone over her head! She does like playing in the snow though. This is about 24 hours earlier. I let her play outside for 15 minutes or so yesterday. What a difference 24 hours of continuous snow can make!

Snow makes the little ones so happy! I'm glad that they had so much fun... We had a little bit of snow this past week too. Nicholas was soo excited. I'll have to post pictures.
