I called the girls to the windows and spent the morning working overtime to get us all fed and ready to enjoy it together. I had to work before noon, so there wasn't much time!
The first thing I wanted to do was get some pictures for the blog. In my mind this is still some freak of nature thing that could stop at any moment. So I took some photos through the window. But that wasn't quite capturing it, so...
...I rushed outside in my pajamas (almost forgot to cover my bare feet!) and took more pictures. Snow on the back of your neck is cold.
Wow. Our first snow. Okay, time to get back inside and layer up! The neighbors seemed to think there was something either amusing or startling (maybe just dimwitted?) about the thinly clad lady with a camera in the early morning snow.
Fortunately, it didn't stop snowing before we were all fed and dressed. (ahem, 2 hours later)
The pictures of the girls are interesting, because Clara was really very excited and happy.
And Roses was very cautious and a little worried at first. "It didn't looked like this yesterday. Where did everything go?"
By the way, I love it when she smiles like this. Too cute! It's her daddy's smile, for sure.
It was so fluffy! When we lived in Riverside they had a "snow day" in the park; they shaved a giant block of ice and blew it onto the ground to form a hill of solid ice. The "snowballs" we managed to chisel free were as solid as paper weights. This snowball here I scooped up with the tips of my fingers.
Snow pictures!
She says, "Set...GO!"
The park!
Our car! The snowfall reminds me of ash from a wild fire, but there's a bit more of it... and it seems to be colder. Oh, and much easier on the lungs.
Look at her rope! Clara loved the way our apple tree looked with it's new make over.
Roses is loving the crunchy footsteps.
Okay, this is what it looked like yesterday. It was actually a little colder before the snow. The wind can go through layers.
Good day/night everybody! It's 2AM for me, and I have to work later. I promise I will get right to the Halloween pictures after Thanksgiving. Happy Birthdays Mom & Dad! We Love you Miss You!
