Snow!


About thirty minutes ago I woke up to the happy screams, "Snow! It snowed! Looked at the snow! Wake up! There's snow! Can we go make a snow man?" There is a very light dusting of snow turning every thing white. There isn't enough to make a snowball much less a snowman, but there is snow.

While David made coffee I grabbed the camera and staggered down the stairs, all three flights, to take a picture of the snow before it melts away. David grabbed a bowl and handed it to me as I headed out. No one handed me a coat, and I am not all that functional before coffee. I must really love my kids because without coffee or coat I stood outside in the cold snapped some pictures to remember their first snowfall, and scooped up a bowl of snow from the picnic table for the kids to feel.

Update: It is now day light, the kids are outside playing in the snow. We took pictures of them until the camera batteries died. I will get some pictures up later today. They are too cute.

In case you wondering how cold, my weather widget said it was 0 celcius but felt -6. If you are wearing old flannel jammy pants and a t-shirt while taking pictures it feels a lot colder than that!!

Wow! I am NOT going to tell the kids that your kids have snow. They would be SO jealous. They LOVE snow and miss it terribly. They insist that our next post MUST have snow. I guess that is that....
