Speaking of weather...

I'm a few days behind in posting these, but as you can see on the pictures, the date was October 12, 2009 and yes, that is snow. We got lots of it (for October) and the kids were elated!! Wyatt wanted to play in it before school but I promised him we would play after he got home. And it was the first thing he asked about when I picked him up at preschool.....

He was so disappointed that all the snow that fell on the sidewalks/roads/driveway was melting because the ground was still warm, so he made the extra effort to push snow on to the sidewalk so he could shovel! Wyatt, there will be plenty of time for that.

Thankfully I had gone just 2 days earlier to get Sadie a winter coat. But the boots and snowpants were Wyatt's old ones--but I'm thinking we may just wear these for the year!

And it was perfect packing snow, as you can see from where we rolled the balls for the snowman--there is no snow left on the ground.

Sadie insisted we get a hat, scarf, eyes and a nose for our snowman--Wyatt was on to the next thing by this point but Sadie wouldn't let our snowman be without a face and proper clothing! Funny how different boys and girls are.

And my favorite part---the beautiful white snow falling. I love how everything outside looks when it's snowing and I love how everything inside looks with the bright white snow outside. It never gets old--and it helps to have kids who enjoy it just as much!
