We had our first snowfall today and we got quite a bit. I can't believe it snowed in early October. The leaves on our trees just started changing two days ago and are still a little green!
This is how the yard looked by 3:00 p.m. today. When we first noticed the snowfall around 10:00 a.m. Lily was glued to the back door waiting for enough snow to build a snowman. It was a long morning trying to distract her and entertain her while she waited for a chance to build Frosty.
Around 11:30 we ventured out so I could show her that there was not enough snow to build a snowman. She had fun anyway eating the flakes and talking to Annie about snow. We eventually got wet and cold so we came in for chicken soup.
Annie really liked the soup. It had goldfish shaped noodles.
We went back out again around 1:30 because Lily was dying to play in the snow. But alas, there was still not enough on the ground to build her beloved snowman. So back in the house we went.
At 3:00 p.m. Annie gave up hope of playing in the snow and fell asleep. I put her down for a nap and told Lily there was finally enough snow to make a Frosty the Snowman. We ran out together and played for an hour.
She was in heaven.
We were doing this just six months ago. I guess we get a REALLY short spring/summer/fall in eastern Idaho. That's fine with me. Lily and I love the snow. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
