Anticipation!

Today has been a lesson in patience! An opportunity to anticipate! It was a day we have begged for, for years! A snow day! Only...it didn't snow!!! But we got up, fully expecting it to! We made food, washed clothes, cleaned, and did dishes all in anticipation for the snow that was too arrive at noon! We waited and waited and waited and by bed time, we had hardly seen an ice pellet!

We made the most of it though! We sang songs from the Frozen soundtrack, colored pictures, prepared and hoped and wished to see that much anticipated snow! And as my mother in love said, it was fun to hope a little! ;) 

We even spent the evening catching up on school...(shhhh, don't tell anyone we were a day or two behind!) ;) Grayson and I had a long weekend! :) but we got it all done and had fun doing it, between our every 5 minute window checks! ;) 

We finally gave up and tucked the kids in, only with the promise that if snow came, I WOULD wake them to let them see! And about 9 this evening that is just what we did! :) I am an adult and it still amazes me! Grayson was just that, amazed! "I finally know what real snow is like!!!" (Said in the sweetest, most sincere, sleepy 5 year old voice)

And Ada, well she never fully woke up and didn't really care much! But tomorrow she will finally play in snow! Our last big snow was just after we brought her home from the hospital, 4 years ago, to the day almost! Only off by a little over a week! And with her new love for Frozen, I can already see her playing and singing in that little bit of snow we have, tomorrow! :) 

And as much as we anticipated today, I am anticipating tomorrow even more! Can't wait to play with my babies in that sweet Carolina snow! :)
