Spontaneous Snowball Fight


"snow...Snow...SNow...SNOw...SNOW!!!!! It won't be long before we have snow....I want to wash my hands, my face, and hair with snow..." Well...it won't be long because it's ALREADY HERE!!!! Yesssss! 
It has been raining off and on since Saturday but yesterday....IT SNOWED! It snowed good. My roommates said "hey let's go walk in the snow..." so we put on hoodies and two of my roomies got out there...and started throwing snowballs immediately. I wasn't even out the door yet so I grabbed some gloves and joined them. We then decided to go over to the boys (fhe bros) side and throw snow at their door....they came out and threw some back but didn't come down stairs. Their neighbors and other apartments joined in on the fun as well. Soon we had a huge fight going on...and we were soaked and wet but looooved it! 

The cars came in handy....for snow and refuge!

Loren creaming Amie...but he got payback by Chrissy. 
Me and Amie after the fight!! We were both enemies and friends!
Most of the gang...missing a few but you get the idea....
Then Craig (Craigo) suggested we on the girls side again and surprise an apartment. I went to my really good friends house and knocked while the group hid behind cars....they were like "hey...whtat's up.." I'm sure they could tell I was SOAKED! I was like "hey come look at the snow...it's so pretty..." and Katie stepped out to look just to humor me...and I stepped back right as she got pelted with a snowball right in the neck. Everyone came out of hiding and got her so good. It was in her apartment...and then Lauren and Chris came out too...a little later Emily even came out. We got them soo good. So then Katie, Lauren, and Chris came out to play too. We tried a couple other apartments but they weren't as cool about it...plus the girl we were looking for in one apartment wasn't home so her roommates didn't appreciate snow in their apartment. 
There as a couple times that wrestling started happening...I tried to get Craigo but he caught me and started to wrestle me down...so Chrissy came to my rescue...but then he got her sooo bad back. Another point was when Loren tackled Amie....she was getting white washed BAD....and had no way of escape. I ran over to Loren and lunged at him to push him off of her he fell backward...and I helped Amie up. It was awesome...then I had a war with Loren just to get him back. I'm not sure I got him well enough but it was sufficient. 
We got a lot of snow in out apartment because we attacked Janaye....but it was worth it. I got cleaned up and put my pjs on, had some hot chocolate....messed around with my roomies and then went to sleep. I guess I slept hard because I woke up at 7:20 and I have a 7:45 class...I was running around with my head cut off!!! I called my friend and she picked me up...so I got there in time!! I was so thankful. I guess getting up late, having my two favorite jeans wet and dirty so I have to wear my back ups (which I hate), and being freezing...was all worth it for our spontaneous snowball fight!!! I love snow...and now I shall end as I began..."where it's snowing all winter through...that's where I want to be snowball throwing...that's what I'll do...How I'm longing to ski through the snooooow."
