Black Friday turned white for Holmans-North. What were supposed to be flurries turned into 2 inches of heavy wet snow on the day after Thanksgiving.
So much for shopping.
Erica and the kids were giddy. You would have thought school was canceled. I hated to break it to them that we were already on vacation.
The kids were quickly outfitted in last year's snowsuits and hustled outside. It's fun to see how much your kids have grown over the course of one year by comparing them to last year's snowsuit.
Unfortunately, it also increases their chances of frostbite, self-imposed wedgies and being pummeled by bullies for looking ridiculous.
The kids and I used the unusually wet snow to make the fastest melting snowman in neighborhood history. Using half of the backyard for snowman material, we managed to finish a giant snowman only to watch it fall over in less than twenty minutes.
I'm happy to point out that the base of the snowman is still going strong more than 48 hours after construction. Unfortunately, it's going to be in the upper 50's today.
I don't think it'll make it to December.
