First Snow Fall

We woke to our first real snowfall of the season.  

It was beautiful.

The children couldn't wait to get outside. 

It took much effort to get them both appropriately clothed, and as we walked out, I said to Kent,

"I hope this outing lasts longer than it took to get their snowsuits on."

It did.  

Both Brandt and Blythe loved being in the snow.

Loved it!

They shoveled, they made snow angels, they crawled and rolled around in the snow.

It was wonderful to be outside in the crisp air, tromping through the snow, and helping our neighbors by shoveling their sidewalks and driveways.

Tomorrow we need to go buy both children new snow boots, and then we'll likely go sledding.

 

Shoveling--walks, driveways, the road, the grass.

 

 

Brandt worked right alongside Kent.
He carried snow from one side of the road to the other so Kent would have plenty to shovel.

Making snowballs.

 

And snow angels.

  

 

Blythe crawled across the street and into a snowbank where she began digging a hole.

 

Covered in snow and loving it!

 

They really stuck with the work for a long time.

Anything to be outside in the snow.

It took many, many, many requests to get the children to actually sit still for a moment so I could take their picture. 

I'm pleased with the result.
