Snow Days

We finally had our first snow in the middle of November.  It was enough they kids could even play in it for a couple of days.  They had a blast.  Nora would have loved to live in it if I would have let her.  But I'm old, and I got cold way faster than she did.

But before playing in the snow we took some pictures inside while staying warm and enjoying the beautiful light.

I love the look of determination on her face.  I'm not sure what she was looking at, a scratch I think, but she was determined about it regardless.

And Ben looked so cute coloring at the kitchen table.

Nora always looks cute, even with her eating a chip face.

And then after picking Isaac up from school the snow started to fall.  This kids loved to stare out the window at it.  Especially Nora.

I don't know why but I love looking out the window photos.

She also loved finding all the winter gear and trying it on.  

But nothing topped the post-nap play in the snow!

She is a persistent girl.  She figured out how to grab things with the mittens on even though it took her quite some time.  The boys were to fast and furious in the snow to get too many pictures of them.  But Ben wanted me to take a picture of him where they "ice skate."

I snapped these two pictures earlier in the day through the window.  Isaac is same old, same old, eating the snow.

I sure hope we get some more snow soon.  Especially since these older boys have figured out how to put on and take off the snow gear all by themselves.  Brilliant!
