Here one moment

gone the next.

We had snow over the weekend! Not just some tiny flakes that melted once they hit the ground, no, no. We had the real thing: a waterfall of snowflakes covering each and every inch as far as you could see. Such a magical sight. A true Winter Wonderland.

The kids had fun playing in the snow but since we were at a friend's house at the time, I have no pictures to show you. So I thought I'd include some of last year (from the only day we had the real thing).

Watch out!!!





Robin's trousers were soaking wet from the snow and I just couldn't let him get into the car like that because he'd be half frozen by the time the heating in the car got to a decent temperature. Creative minds however usually come up with a solution (or worried mama's) so I replaced the wet trousers by.... my husband's sweater! It kinda looked like he was wearing baggy pants (with his legs and feet inside the sleeves) and it was only for the ride home. Well, at least he was warm!

Now of course all that's left are slippery roads and here and there you can still see the remains of a few snowmen. For all we know it may very well be the only snow we'll have this winter (which is officially still about a month away), but I do hope we'll get some more. Preferably during the Christmas holidays. It'd be nice to have a white Christmas...
