Dust of Snow

We knew a storm was coming today, but we didn't know we would wake up with a winter wonderland already upon us! By 7am there was already a few inches of snow, so school was cancelled for the day! Hooray! I was excited to spend a day with BOTH of my sweet kids (like the old days before all this kindergarten business). The kids had a blast playing in the snow. They were fascinated by the fact that they could roll around in it and not get wet and cold. It was cracking me up because they would just fall over and face plant into the snow! They pretended to be polar bears, threw snowballs at each other, and helped me build a snowman.

Oh, and just so that I have it written down... Sophia kept calling her beanie a "beamie." She was proud to wear a "beamie" just like her brother.

excited!

our snowman

Daddy came home early and tried to build a bigger and better snowman

Then, Eddie's buddy, Ethan, came over for a snowball fight!

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
