Houston, We Have.... SNOW!!?!!!?!

Huh? What? Did the bad place freeze over? It snowed in Houston this afternoon!

I am under the weather (Mommy) and was just getting out of a heavenly hot bath when my mother-in-law called to tell me it is snowing. WHAT!? I have never seen snow in Houston so I was so excited. I quickly put on a robe and grabbed my only awake (but hungry) child and made a (wo)man made hurricane in the bedroom to find some warm clothes. I bundled him up and drug him outside for the obligatory photos (yes still in my robe). Here they are...

What's this stuff?

I wonder if it will fall on my tongue?

I'm SOOOO over snow, Mommy!

Finley says, "What did I almost miss?" (Finley decided to take a three hour nap today and I couldn't get him to wake up! I guess the cold weather made him want to settle in for a long winter's nap so when he finally woke up the snow was almost gone. I had to take him out in his jammies and snap a few shots quickly before it completely melted. It wasn't very cold anymore once the flakes stopped falling)

What on earth is this? White rain?

It feels wet and cold, Mommy!

Disclaimer: And, yes, I know this is a pathetic amount of snow for many of you but humor us! We live in Houston where it NEVER snows so even one flake makes us want to go rent full ski gear and build a miniature snowman! It was actually falling pretty good but was hard to capture on the camera.
