The first real snow of the year has come!! This is view from my window this morning. There was a bit more but some has already melted. I expect that it will be all gone by tonight. First snows don't have much staying power.
I love snow. Love it! Until about February. Then I get tired of it and want it to go away. There is just something special about that first snow. I love sitting on the couch with a hot cocoa or coffee (today I opted for a peppermint mocha) while I watch the excitement of my children as they squeal and watch the snow. Fun and relaxing! I also skip most housework the day of the first snow and just enjoy life.
My peppermint mocha. It got cold while writing this. While I like cold coffee (with ice), today is not a day for my coffee to be cold. Takes some of the magic out of the day.

The three older children bundled up, ready to play in the wet, wet snow. Miss A kept sticking out her tongue. Silly girl!
Mom, take note - I saved all the cards this year. You are proud of me, yes?
Fun in the snow! The person whose back you see is one of W's therapists. I let her go out in the cold and get wet while I stayed in, sipping my once again hot mocha. I stayed in because of the baby, of course. Tee hee.
More fun. They made a 'laying down' snowman. Somewhere. They came in happy and soaked. Well, happy until W got his fingers pinched in the screen door and then the fun ended. (He's ok now, but will probably end up with a bruise.) First snow injury of the year!
