The First Snow


Of course it decided to snow on Annabelle's field trip day. It didn't start coming down until we were safe inside a cafe sipping hot chocolate, but it was VERY cold. We all decided to bypass the maze and play for a few minutes before picking out a pumpkin. We had lots of fun despite the cold.

When the boys got home all they wanted to do was play in the snow. I even let Nathan put off homework so he could go and enjoy (something I don't completely understand since I didn't grow up playing in the snow). They had a blast with some neighbor friends. I even pulled on my boots and headed out for a little. I made a snow man and loved how it was perfect snowman snow. This was my 2nd successful snowman and when Nathan knocked its head off I was quite bummed.

While the snow was a fun diversion for a couple hours it left my kitchen floor wet and messy (I need to create a snow clothes area in the garage-hint hint Greg) and now Annabelle has a yucky cold. I am pretty sure it is only a cold, but I kept her home from preschool today. Hopefully she will mend quickly.

Emily, Taylor and I were ROTFL when we dropped Nathan off from carpool yesterday. He walks over to the snowman, cocks his head to look at it, takes one hand and smacks the snowman upside the head, grinning as the snowman head plopped to the ground.

Awesome snowman; you should blog some pointers. I have never been able to make one! I can't believe you already have snow. We get snow much later.

I love the first snowfall!!! It makes me homesick knowing we don't really get any snow here.
