Snow Into It

Oh MAN were we ever ready for the first snow of the year. Our predicted "dusting" put down enough powder to call-in the plows and get every toddler in the Washington area running for hats and mittens.

Whatever reluctance Harry felt last year about the cold apparently evaporated with the first flake. Today he begged from sun-up to go outside and toss snowballs, which we did twice. He never flinched when the woolen mittens got soggy, or complained that his mother inexplicably had him in rain boots instead of snow gear.

We had a planned outing with friends during the afternoon and you'd have thought I'd taken all his trains away when I said we had to get out of the snow and into the car. After we got home (thank you Missy, it was very fun, Harry said so!), we hit the powder again. That white stuff makes for an awesome nap time.
