snow day - first snow of 2010

We had our first snow of the year yesterday morning, with treacherous roads on the way to church and car doors which froze shut while we were in church.

We didn't get much snow yesterday, and none overnight, but as Murphy's Law would have it the one morning the kids weren't up before the sun, I woke them up just to a get an email 2 minutes later that school was cancelled. Grrrrr.

I was able to have the kids hold out until mid-day to go outside when the sun had at least had a chance to warm things up a bit.

This is Jasper's first year getting to really run around in the snow on his own.
Kids making snow angels (they were too wiggly and looked more like snow caterpillars)
Arcadia has the northern blood that lets her play out in the snow for hours without getting cold.
Matthijas practicing his Wii Snowboarding skills.
Off course mom had to be the target of at least 1 snowball.
Somehow I caught them all in a row testing out this month's snow flavor.
