It's SNOWING!!!

Yesterday it started snowing!! We learned last year that the best snow is the first snow, and after that you usually can't pack the snow enough to make a snowman, so we got right on it with the first quarter of an inch this year :) Charity and Brad found some other uses for the snow as well :)

Luke thought it was pretty interesting, but he got sick of it quickly.


Good thing we have a big yard :) Here is our snowman in the making.


I feel like now would be a good time to explain why my kids are wearing such odd clothing. It all started with Charity not wanting to wear her nice new gloves we got her. "It's too hard to make snowballs with those gloves" I guess. So she had to wear her old ones from last year- which she could only find the one. So she threw a bit of a fit and then Kelly so generously offered her the one glove of her's that we could find--- which left Kelly with nothing but she quickly remedied that with several different pairs of socks (they kept getting wet and she would run inside and change them- though I'm not sure how they were getting wet- she hardly touched the snow she was so busy running in and out of the house). So then we could only find one of Brad's gloves (this is looking like it was more my fault than I was thinking, but bear with me :)), so he ended up wearing Charity's pink ones :) (again with the pink- ugh). So anyway- I think most everything else is fairly normal- well, Kelly wouldn't put on a coat either- that's pretty normal for her though. Anyway- we had fun getting all ready to go outside and then we made a snowman :)


This was right before Luke lost it and had to go inside. He had fun while it lasted though :)
