SNOW?!...You're kidding right?

Nope, no jokin'! We had snow a couple of weekends ago (the 8th)! So it wasn't some major snow fall...it surely didn't shut the road systems down, although down here, there may have been a few accidents from rubber necking at it!

I got up that morning and got moving to get the farm chores done. We had a soccer game at 9 am for both kids.

I walked outside, knowing it was going to be a bit cold but unprepared for the fat white flakes falling from the sky on what was a very sunny and pretty morning! I ran to tell the others. The kids have been asking, no...begging, for snow for years. B remembers a little bit, I think, about the snow in Virginia that she got to play in when she was little, but Little Man has no clue...one day we'll take them skiing or something...hopefully we'll move a little farther north and get a few snows then...

Steve and B shot out of bed like their feet were on fire and Little Man grunted, looked at me, then rolled over, LOL! He likes his sleep like his daddy. He did get up a little while later after B pounced on him and aggravated him up out of bed with all her excitement!

It didn't snow long, just an hour or so, but the kids enjoyed the later part of what they saw...they thought it was just cool and was telling everybody about it at soccer...many of the other kids hadn't seen it since it was going on at 6:30 AM and almost didn't believe him...but I told them too.

Their soccer games went well although the Hawks (the team Steve and I coach) lost...the boys were just Popsicles out there playing on a field that was still a bit wet and muddy...the team they played I do not like...the coach's and parents encourage them to be rough. I don't do that with mine...it's not necessary. B's team didn't win either. Both of our teams were short players I think mainly due to the cold, but that didn't stop any of them from wanting to play and trying their best at it. They were all troopers!

Funny thing is this past weekend the temps were up at 88 degrees! Good grief! Freezing one week and hot the next. Our kids did great though, B's team won by 3 I think-she almost scored 3 goals by herself. That girl can dribble a ball down the field and around those girls like crazy! I was hollaring for her like some loon! LOL. Some of the parents of the other team were ridiculous acting though-just ugly to the ref and towards our team. I just don't get parents like that. This is a kids game, it's supposed to be fun for them, but they make it so much more than that at times. The Hawks tied their game, 2-2, though it was a team we beat last year by 1. Funny thing is, their team had at least 12 players, ours had 8 and we still tied them! LOL. Our boys were playing hard by the second half and had we had 5 more minutes or so...we could have won it. Our boys weren't letting the other team even get near their goal.
