Last Friday it snowed for the first time.today it's snowing again! But last week it was fresh and new. The kids had just eaten lunch and were having a little downtime watching a show. I was at my computer typing up a blog. I glanced out the window and saw the skies were dark and there were light snow flurries.
Kids!" I announced, "it's snowing! Let's "go outside before it stops. We can finish the show later."
The kids looked out the window and squealed with glee. Then we all jumped into action to get on our boots, jackets, mittens, and hats to go out into the flurries.
They ran around the yard excitedly, mouths agape to catch the flakes on their tongues.
They turned their boots into snowplows to collect what ever was sticking to the ground. Then they reached down and ate it. Lil Sis sampled the flakes that landed on her swing. Big Bro followed suit.
We admired the flakes as they landed on Pepper and played for as long as the snow fell.
Then the sun came out and the snow stopped. We went inside for hot cocoa at Big Bro's request, and made a bowl of popcorn to eat while we finished the show.
When the show was done we looked out the window and all the snow had already melted. There was no trace of the magic that had just happened. But we knew and it was such a great start to winter.
