Family portrait

We woke up to a fresh inch or two of snow this morning and much excitement ensued with all the many possible adventures that could take place. Once we were all dressed, we headed outside to find that it was the perfect snowman making snow!

All we had to do was make one little snow ball and then roll it around and that little ball would pick up anything and everything in its path. We even discovered a missing sock! The children were a bit disappointed that the growing snow ball would take all of the snow in its path leaving a trail of green behind, but once our family of snow people began to take shape it didn't matter so much.

And our family just wouldn't be complete without including our sweet, playful, patient cat, Mena!

But our snowy morning was quickly interrupted by none other than Mrs. Thaw!

Who gently reminded us that it is indeed February and the weather is not to be trusted, but definitely enjoyed.
