The First Snow of the Year

Saturday was our first official snow storm of the year (okay we did have a skiff about a week ago, but when there is less than 1/2 an inch it doesn't count, right??). The kids were so excited. They wanted to be out first thing. Unfortunately for them I had a pretty bad head cold and kept telling them they could go out later. Finally I gave up. We bundled them up in their snow clothes and sent them out. They had so much fun making snow angels, snow piles and even played on the playground at our park.



The fun was followed up with hot chocolate and yummy blueberry muffins (thanks to our great friends Sid and Gigi).


About an hour later they wanted out again. Jim was going out to snow blow the snow so they bundled up and headed out for more fun in the snow. I finally had to make Andrew come in at 6:30 because it was so dark and cold. I'm glad they enjoyed themselves and as bad as it is, I am somewhat glad I was not feeling well because I could avoid being out in the freezing cold. Besides, with the weather they are forecasting, there will be plenty more times for me to be out 'enjoying' the snow with them.
