Wait until spring, Mr. Snowman

Yesterday evening there was a hint of snow in the air. This winter we've actually only had snow on two occasions and even then the snow had come and gone in a few hours, melting almost instantly. Imagine our delight to wake up this morning to this:



I know that technically speaking spring has begun, but we were so happy that the kids were finally able to play in the snow. It's a good thing they wake up early (what, did I actually say that ?), because by noon, all that was left was their snowman. He's getting smaller by the minute though. Even before 8 am the snow had started melting...


The kids sure had fun throwing snow at each other. I almost got hit as well, but I was holding the new camera, so they let me off the hook.

Hello Mr. Snowman, how are you today?
