Snow day

Unbelievably enough, it SNOWED in Tucson today.  About 11am, it started raining.  Just before noon, it changed over to snow.  L and E were watching cartoons when I looked outside and saw the snow coming down.  Omg!  I immediately shut off the cartoons, bundled them up, and took them outside to enjoy the snowfall, however brief.  I've never seen it snow in Tucson - the last time it snowed, it did so overnight and was gone by morning (last year, I think).  This time, it was just...spectacular!

Our neighbor across the street is getting so much snow on his roof!

Belle does NOT enjoy the cold wet stuff falling from the sky.

Why is my oleander bush covered in snow?!??  (L is running by too)

Dead palm tree in the snow, and L running on the sidewalk.

After that, the girls were totally soaked from jumping in puddles and trying to "play" in the snow (aka crawl around in the driveway).  So, into the bathtub we went to warm up before nap time.  Then, they were silly naptime girls.

In the evening, the girls went to spend the night with their grandparents, so I was able to catch a video of it snowing when it started up again around 5pm.  Truly beautiful though definitely surprising.
