A Snowy Day


We got our first snow of the season the day before Halloween.  In fact trick-or-treat was scheduled for that evening and had to be postponed due to the snow.  The kids didn't mind much though because they had a blast outside.  As soon as there was a dusting the kids started coming out of the woodwork and not long after they were all out front enjoying the weather.  They did it all:  sledding, snow forts, snow boarding, snow ball fights, snow ice cream, snowmen, snow angels!!!
As soon as the grass was covered the sleds came out!

We ended up getting about 8 inches!  It looked like a winter wonderland.  I resisted the temptation to put on Christmas music (I just can't do it until after Thanksgiving), but did have a nice warm cup of apple cider while making batches of hot chocolate and cookies for the kids.

i thought the same thing about the Christmas music...then tree limbs started falling, our patio table was destroyed and the power went out...kinda killed the festive mood!
