first snow of the season

ahhh... the first snow of the season. remember how exciting it was? i do. started last night at the ranch, and ended this afternoon. unfortunately, there's not much to show for the extended timeline. but to my children it didn't matter. you'd have thought it had snowed 2 feet by their excitement. the entire way home from school, they discussed playing in it. meanwhile, i was trying to talk them out of it. it's really cold, ok? there's not enough there to do anything. but, cale wanted to make a snow angel and gracie wanted to build a snowman. oh, and gracie also wanted to make snow ice cream. um, no gracie. definitely not enough for that! we pulled into the garage, they piled out, and straight to the snow they went.
oh the excitement... giddiness abounds...

what a good big sister... gracie voluntarily showed cale how to make a snowball.

what an arm... can you see that snowball (look closely on the road)... aunt kathy would be so proud.

gracie, ever the sweet big sister, offered to throw one at cale. he tucked and ran.

the entire "first snow of the season" experience lasted about 90 seconds. oh, well. there's always next time.

hot chocolate, anyone?
