On Sunday and Monday we had our first snows, but not much stuck to the ground. This morning the kids woke up thrilled and excited to find a white blanket of snow (just enough to cover the lawn) and were itching to go out and build a snowman and have a snowball fight. I convinced them to wait until after breakfast. As soon as breakfast was over and their chores were done, they ran outside to play. They had fun having a snow ball fight with Dad on his way to work, and building a snow man. When their fingers and toes got cold they came in for some hot cocoa and warmed up in the kitchen. Here are a few pics to remind all of our friends and family living down south what snow looks like!
"The boys" and their snowman. I thought it would take them a long time, but they had the three tiers up within five minutes.
Jennabee wanted in on the fun too.

Thank you for the reminder!
Looks like a fun morning.
Scott and the kids went to the park this morning and came back freezing. It was 65F. We have become whimps.
Marie, I grew up in Southern California and I remember when the temperature hit 70 degrees we put on our long pants and jackets and shivered out on the playground at school. So I was laughing when I read about your kids at the park. They have become California kids through and through!
I never experienced snow until my family moved to Washington when I was a teenager. I enjoyed it for about one second, then I had my fill of it. I envy your 65F weather!
Hey, you got more snow than us! I'm jealous. I finally had to force my kis into heavy coats and long sleeves this week. I guess we're opposite the californians! It's short sleeves and sweaters until 30 degrees. We're watching the ski resorts anxiously and they're not getting anything. Boo hoo.
The snow looks like SO much fun. We got one day here in Boise and it was melted by mid-afternoon. I really enjoy watching the kids and playing in it with them. I only wish someone else was responsible for remembering where I stashed all the winter clothes from last winter before we moved again! I still haven't found some of the kids boots!! Hopefully we will before the next one, that is if there is another snow here.
Love,

Brrrr! That looks cold! K and I were just laughing yesterday about how cold it was in WA to get out of the car to fill it up with gas. In the last couple of days we have finally had cold weather...just in time to realize that we need to do some shopping for a few "winter" clothes. Have fun with the snow!
That snow looks like lots of fun!! (But only for a minute or two)
