It snowed a ton on Feb 22! All the long time locals I talked to said it was the most they have ever seen. It snowed from about 7 am until noon and it actually stuck! I was convinced that it wasn't going to last that long, so I dragged Elliot outside to play in it before we went to volleyball. He did not want to get out of bed, so I had to bribe him with hot chocolate.

After volleyball, it was still coming down, and all the exposed turf from snowman #1 had been covered up again! I didn't have gloves for the kids (note to self: next time put socks on hands), so Annie didn't last very long. Elliot refused to touch the snow with his bare hands, so I ended up making this lovely snowman family myself and having a great time doing it.
Afterwards I decided to try to recreate my childhood by making fried scones. I tried to cut corners with this fast no-rise scones recipe, which was a big mistake. It was dense and gross and nothing like my mom's recipe. Oh well- hopefully Elliot appreciated my snow day efforts!
