"Stolen pictures"!

I've taken some more pictures of my snow girl, but my husband STOLE them from me and blogged about her first!

Anyway, here's my beautiful girl!  I'm gonna take more pics of her today as she "melts away" into nothing.  I'm hoping she lasts long enough for my parents to see her!  They should be here in a couple hours!!!

On a funny note, my cat, Munchkin, who is ALWAYS trying to get outside, didn't really like being outside yesterday!!!  It was hilarious to watch him walk thru the snow!  He was definitely glad to be back in his warm cozy house after that excursion!!!

"Oh, What A Beautiful Morning...!"

Sun is shining, snow is glistening on everything!  It's so beautiful!  I really wish my parents could've seen it!  

I'm not sure what Jack-Jack was doing!  My guess is that he found one of the piles of poop under the snow!  

It's a beautiful thing

Now, for all my friends who are used to the snow or even hate it (MA friends!!!), please understand that to a Florida girl, this is one of the most beautiful things I'll ever see in my life!

This picture was taken yesterday around 2PM from my driveway!

It was so much fun watching Claude throw snowballs and then watching Jack-Jack try to "bring it back"!  He's great at playing fetch, but not when the ball disappears!!!!

SNOW!

Pictures at 8AM when I let my dogs out:

Just a light dusting!

Pictures at 10AM when I went back out:

Even the dog poop couldn't be seen because of the snow!!!

The plants almost disappear!!

I got a kick out of the back of the truck!!!

The forecast says snow until around 4pm then it should lighten up or stop.  I don't want it to stop!  I like it!!!!!  You know why!?!  Because I am a true Floridian and this is what our winters are like:

I love Florida.  It will always be my heart's home!  But, I love NC!  It's my adopted home!

I'm so glad that I'm here!  I wish my parents and my nephews & nieces could see the snow and enjoy it.  Oh well, the best I can do is take alot of pictures!!!!

Tomorrow is going to be AWESOME!!!

(says the Floridian who loves the cold weather!!!!)

We've got to be crazy!!!

This was the temperature at 12:30am in Winterville, NC! (18 degrees!!!)

So, why, you ask, does it matter what the temperature was so early in the morning?!?  You were probably snuggled all cozy in your bed with blankets all over you!  Right?!?

WRONG!

Claude and the guys decided to make a run to IHOP!

So, we loaded up as many as we could carry in our minivan, and we had a wonderful father of one of the guys, Tom Hansen, come over (at 12:45am) to carry the remaining crew to breakfast!

Most of the guys ordered chocolate milk and "all you can eat" pancakes.

These guys can eat ALOT of pancakes!

I believe Kevin holds the record at 11 pancakes!

All in all, I think they had a great time!  We got back to the house at 2AM and they started playing their video games again.  Claude & I went to bed.

We woke up @ 8AM and Claude went to check on them.  Apparently, the majority of them didn't go to bed until around 6AM.

OH! TO BE YOUNG AGAIN!!!!!

Guys "sleepover"?????

I have a feeling that these guys are NOT going to sleep!!!
