The Blizzard of 2010 - In Charleston, SC - Hahaha

OK, so the rumor was that we were going to be getting some snow...I started to believe it, only when the Weather Channel was in agreement with the local channels. Schools were out early...we waited! Finally, around 8 we saw some flurries. I took Ash out on the porch & she did not know what to think. All she could say was "cold..wet!" Devin and Kellie came over to watch it fall with us.

After about an hour, we actually had snow on the ground. Yea!!! Ash's first snow! I had not seen this much snow in Charleston since 1989, the same year that Hugo hit SC. (My one and only white Christmas) It was awesome! I hear that Mt. P had some snow back in 1999, but I was in Clemson then. Anyway, it was enough to make chaos in the neighborhood!

The neighbors were getting me with snow...from both sides, which seems a bit unfair. (Where are you Rick?) It was fun & Ash got used to it pretty quickly!


I think I offered money to the kids if they would get Devin...I don't remember!
Bono was LOVIN' it!

Ash made Kellie walk around and around the yard!
"Pur tee"
After a couple of hours of playing, Ms. Hannah brought us a pizza. We had a fun night & ended it by watching "Ice Age." It could have been perfect...if only Rick were here!
The morning came early, as Ashlyn was up by 7:30. (This PROVES the theory that kids do NOT sleep longer if you let them stay up really late!) We immediately opened the door & she was squealing like crazy!

Looking across the yard into the street!


Our House!
It took Ashlyn a couple of minutes to get used to walking in the snow!

"Come on Mommy"
Devin was next door building a snowman. It quickly caught our attention!
Yes, he is wearing a Tennessee hat! We smiled just to be polite! Ha ha
I looked everywhere for a GA hat, or anything for that matter, and had no luck.
After eating and stomping some snow, Ashlyn decided to clean the trees. I have no idea why, but she insisted on wiping the snow off of all of the trees that she could reach. She just kept screaming "off!" Once she gets an idea in her little noggin, there is NO changing her mind. I do not know if it is just Ashlyn's "sas-I-tude" ,or if it is a typical two's thing.
Either way, prayers are greatly appreciated!

Our little snow bunny!
Chadwicks in the snow!
