We had a lovely time playing in the leaves last Tuesday. I was quite looking forward to more leaves this week and plenty of mild (in the 50s) outside playing.

But alas. On Saturday we woke up to an and a half of snow!

So Ranger got to play as soon as he woke up.

He thought it was interesting and strange and just walked around looking at things for a few minutes.

At one point he slipped, fell over onto his tummy, and asked “What is this?”
He didn’t quite remember it from last year I guess.

He got a handful and was pretty excited about it. :)

A little later he was playing with the snow in his flower pot and asked it again: “what is this?” I told him it was snow. And then a couple seconds later he said “what is this snow?” He was going to figure this out! So I told him it was frozen water.

Later he came up to me with a mouthful of snow and said “waaer!” He had figured it out. Smart child.

Israel was a wonderful father and got out of bed early on his Saturday morning and showed Ranger all about. How to build a snowman,throw snow and make snowballs. It was a fun morning.

Ali sat quite happily on the couch while we were outside.

First snowman of the year!

He even got charcoal eyes :)

Of course today most of the snow is gone. There’s a lovely dusting on the mountains still, but hopefully we’ll have another week of fall before winter sets in!:)

Weather like where you are? Are you a snow-hater, ambivalent, or snow- lover? I don’t mind it as long as it’s not on the roads and I can still run!

Ranger and I went out on some super-snowy days last year!
