Let it Snow!

Today was the first snowstorm of the season.  And it snowed and snowed and snowed!

I took Kirstie to school, came home and shoveled the driveway.  In fact, I shoveled our neighbor's sidewalks as well.  He always does ours with his snowblower,so I thought I'd do something nice for him.  Well, it was a nice thought, but by later that afternoon you couldn't even tell I'd shoveled anything at all!  So, out we went again.  This time Brent was home from work so I let him shovel while the kids and I played!  The kids love playing in the snow, but it just takes SO LONG to get the dressed to go outside.  And we discovered that Kirstie's boots are a size too small, Ian's are a size too big.  We have snowpants in sizes 1, 3, and 7.  (I squeezed Kirstie into one of the size 3s).  Kirstie is missing a glove, my glove has a hole in the fingertip, and Brent's boot has major holes.  Oh well.  We had fun nonetheless.  But I think we'll be doing some winter clothes shopping in the near future.

Part of Kirstie's homework this month is to make a snow angel and a snowman.  Well, we got one accomplished today.  The snow was too fluffy for a snowman.  Ian made a dozen snow angels.  He also loved diving into the snow and faceplanting it.  He's such a crazy boy.
