What a surprise to wake up to a few inches of snow last Saturday! In Minnesota this would not be such a shock but in Nebraska? Really?! Sage's reaction was the typical excitement from a kid her age and the expected question "Can we go play in it?" She handled my reply of "Sweetheart, we don't play in the snow at 7 in the morning. Let's go make Mommy's coffee first," quite well actually. Clare on the other hand got huge eyes and stared out the window in complete shock...and then started crying. When we finally did make it outside she was determined to not step foot out the door but once I plopped her in the snow she was hooked. We built this snowman before their afternoon naps and by the time they woke up the snowman's head had fallen off from all the melting. Have no fear though, with my super mom powers I was able to convince them that a head falling off there darling snowman was funny. The snow has since melted away to reveal the still bright green grass underneath and next Monday they are predicting temperatures in the 70's and we will go back to celebrating the fall foliage and picking pumpkins. But for us this little foretaste of winter has brought some excitement for all the fun that's to be had when the temperature drops. Maybe unpredictable weather can sometimes be a good thing.
