First Snow of the Season

We awoke this morning to the unexpected surprise of snow that was actually sticking to the ground and the trees! It feels a little early for snow but the kidlets were VERY excited about the change in the weather!

M and D insisted on going outside to play which entailed gathering up and getting out the winter coats, hats, snow pants, and boots. A wanted to go outside to play as well but since she is fighting a bad cough, I would not let her go. I was feeling quite proud of myself for my earlier trip to Target this week in which I purchased a new winter coat for D as last season's was too small. All was going well............until we pulled out last winter's boots. D's boots still fit him but M's boots were a full two sizes too small. So, he trudged out to the snow wearing his dad's boots. They were big - but not TOO, TOO big which doesn't seem possible.

The boys enjoyed their time outside, although M stayed out far longer than D. D decided he didn't want to have snow thrown at him any longer and came on in to warm up. Little arguments between M and D never last long, though. Their friendship and love for each other makes me so very happy. They are so fortunate to have each other.
