The First Snow of the Season

This morning started off in the usual way. I got up early, took my shower, had my coffee, read my Bible, caught up on emails and such. Ahhh, the quietness of the early morning…

About 30 minutes later, Zion comes stumbling down the stairs in his usual “half asleep, half awake, I don’t do mornings,” self. He sluggishly walks over the the door in the kitchen and opens the blinds. “It snowed!!!” Rings his now fully awake voice.

About that time Azariah comes down stairs. “Riah! Look! It snowed!!”

This then started the very excited, “we can’ t wait to get our chores done, and go outside”, conversation.

A few minutes later, child number 3 wakes up. She’s her usual groggy, grumpy self until she too sees the snow. Suddendly she’s this wide awake, happy, excited, wonderful kid.

After breakfast and chores, that were done in a blur of fast movements (why can’t they always get done that way?) , the kids bundled up and headed outside to play in the snow. I decided that school could be postponed this morning , since the snow will probably be gone by this afternoon anyway. Why not let them enjoy the first snowfall of the season?

So that’s my morning and it’s only 9:00.

Here’s a few pictures of the kids outside. Enjoy…I’m now off to do my own chores and prepare for this afternoons schooling.

Zion makes a snowball…

SMACK!!

Azariah decides to try…SMACK!
