First Snow

This past Saturday, the kids were absolutely delighted to wake up to a dusting of snow on the ground. You would have thought we had gotten 12 inches the way they gobbled down their breakfast and in a flurry of action tore through the house looking for snow pants, gloves and boots.

Even my garbage can was happy

Ruth!! Do not lick the snow that close to the dog run!

Discussing the possibility of making a snowman. This idea was quickly discarded due to the lack of snow for building a snowman.

The idea of a snowman abandoned, the girls focused on a snowball fight-note the chairs stand in for the snow fort due to the lack of snow for a fort. (are you sensing the theme yet?)
