The Snowy Day


The flakes began to fall this morning and shortly after the giggling erupted.The three littles (Felicia, Madelyn, and our nephew Alvie) were bubbling with excitement and ready to get out in the frigid air to play. It wasn't easy finding everything necessary to venture out in such conditions. Alvin is only staying with us for a few days so we did not have any snow clothes for him. We doubled up socks and pants and found some extra gloves and a hat for him to stay toasty. We won't talk about the princess boots that he somewhat reluctantly put on his feet. It's amazing to me how something that is such an inconvenience to most adults can elicit such joy in children. I must admit, that I love it too!

  1. What a day for you:) We had flurries yesterday and all the kids ran out of school so excited. Of course nothing stuck:(

    I like snow too, until I have to dry in it.

    Hoping before Christmas we get a snow day, he he!!

  2. What a great picture!! I wanted to get a few of the babe in the snow today while the sun was still kinda out - but she went down for a nap and the sun has long since set. Hopefully there will still be some of the 4 inches of snow left!!

  7. They look so thrilled! And I love the snow effect. That's really cool. We're lucky down south if we see a pinch of the white stuff. :-/ Hope you've had a good weekend. :)
