Usually the first snow of the year is just a few flurries that don't amount to anything, so yesterday's snow was extra special in that it was not just a sign of fun to come, but accumulated enough that the kids managed to play in it for an hour or so after school (keeping in mind that they also played in it at school during recess). A snowball fight commenced in the back yard, and after I put my camera away, the kids kept playing. Their play included making a small mound to "slide" down in the front yard. Eliza got in on the fun, too, and the kids really can't wait for there to be enough snow to build a snowman.
Now that's a positive attitude from a southern family.
