Snowfall!

WE GOT OUR FIRST (real) SNOWFALL OF THE WINTER!!!! We are so excited; so excited that Julia, Ben, and Emma went outside to play in the 4 inches at 9:00 AM. And I joined them at 9:40, a few minutes after getting up.

The snow was great. It's light, puffy packing snow, so Julia and Ben were having a snowball fight. Emma did not join that one, needless to say.

I discovered that using an old plastic box (that once held chalk) is great for packing snow into, and then shaking out a brick! We made about 50 or so of them to build an igloo that only has 1 layer so far (we'll go back out after being warmed up again.)

So, here are some pictures to show you our snowfall!

It was really warm today. Nice, walking weather. There was a lovely breeze too. Well, lovely to feel, but it kept blowing my hair in my face -.-'
