Not often does it snow here in Washington - I mean really snow - like stick to the ground and stay there until the next day - sure, we'll get the occasional "white rain" that turns to road slurpee within a couple of hours...but not often does it really SNOW...well, it did yesterday and today Church was cancelled, so you know what that means!?! SNOW DAY for the Francis family!! Mark had to work until 4am last night so Gracie and I had to wait until at least 10am until we culd go in and wake hime up... waiting like that was torture for Gracie because her friends were already outside building snowmen! Finally I couldn't take it anymore - the puppy dog eyes and wimpering at the window so I bundled her up and just as I was getting my clothes on Mark decided to wake up early! After we got dressed we opened the front door and Gracie literally ran out of it like a charging bull - she was sooo excited! We played in our yard for a little while and then we took Gracie over to her friends house where she helped them build an adorable little snowman. After that we took her for a walk to our neighborhood playground where she slid down the snow-filled slides like a snow plower! We had a blast until the wind kicked up and then it became unbearable to stay outside any longer. What a wonderful little treat the Lord blessed us with this weekend! For those of you who get snow (real snow) every winter it probably doesn't mean much to you, in fact it may be somewhat of a burden, but for us Washingtonians it's something spectacular - heck! anything other than rain is welcomed here!! We had a blast today! Stay toasty everyone!:)
