First snow

It snowed last night. Just an inch or two, but a herald of things to come. On the other hand, it's been hovering at or above the freezing mark last night and today so it was wet, slushy snow which we rarely get (most of our snow if more like fine sand). Alex has been sick so I wouldn't let him play in it, which was so sad for him and Allison was very disappointed when I told her it would probably be gone by the time she got home from school.

But it wasn't! Mostly gone, but enough left that she ran in, dropped her backpack and went back out to take advantage of it. She was so excited to have snow that actually "packed!"

She even managed to get two little snowmen out of it!


The best part, though was Evelyn standing on her little stool at the window watching the whole thing with a smile on her face.
