The news channels forecasted it, everyone took off work for it, we all prepared for it... but what was it? We will never know. On February 1st 2011 we all prepared for what was to be one of the worst snow/ice/ blizzard storms to ever hit Saint Louis. Literally Saint Louis shut down as we were supposed to get 4 inches of ice and 20 inches of snow with blizzard conditions... scary. What we got? 5 inches of sleet... yeah that was about it. The roads were bad for the day but the hype made for one big let down. However, we seized the day at home with daddy to stay in our pj's and have a blast just being us. I made a homemade potato soup (which noah told me was the best soup he has ever had...) and daddy and allie built a fort in the living room.
Allie thought it was more fun to knock it down but daddy persevered.
and whoa la Allie's first homemade fort complete with her daddy.
they even created a secret passage way
Allie was dying to get outside for a couple days following but there was no real snow and the sleet was so compact that your foot barely made a dent in it. We went out on our snow covered porch and lasted all of 10 minutes but it was totally worth it.
She tasted it.
stomped on it.
touched it.
and loved it!
She loved it until her hands got cold because she refused to put on gloves. Time to go inside. Better luck next year.
