First Snow 2009

The boys were shrieking with glee at 6 am this morning. I rushed out of bed, annoyed at the noise and intent on making them all go back to bed, when I realized they were shouting that it was snowing.

Snowing. SNOWING!

The boys continued to jump up and down, giggling and laughing over the scattering of flakes dusting our yard. There was nothing to do at that point but to join in the laughter and try to forget it is still October. (and make a very large, very caffeinated pot of strong coffee.)

Aidan had to catch his bus to school, but as soon as Griffin and Brennan finished their breakfast they were donning their snow pants, parkas, boots and hats to get outside and soak up some snow. It must have been all of 7:35 am.




It had all melted away by noon, but the boys loved every second of our winter preview. I am happy to go back to fall, for a few more weeks at least.
