The last few days have been very wet and windy here but not too cold. However, last night before we went to be I commented to the OH that it seemed colder than usual, there was a real chill in the air. We woke in the morning to find that we'd had our first snowfall of the winter. It wasn't much, barely enough to settle on the ground, but it was enough to get us all excited.
We went outside briefly, just long enough for the kids to try and catch some falling snow on their tongue and to have our first ever snowball fight. The boys were fascinated but it didn't take long for them to start feeling the cold and asking to go back inside. Poor Shmoo was cold and wet and it was a bit of a sensory overload for him. Once inside he warmed up with a meltdown. But later on, after a big breakfast and some warm cocoa, he couldn't stop talking about the snow and said he really liked playing in it.
we love the snow and hopefully when we have some free time next week there with be some around. Doesn't snow here on the beach though :(
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely to be right near the beach during summer though. At least Tassie's small enough to be reasonably close to both beach and snow.
DeleteHow exciting to have it in your own yard!! We went half way to Cradle on monday too and had a huge fun play :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like so much fun! The boys were staring wistfully up at the mountains behind our place on Monday and asking if we could go there.
