Snow!!

We woke up to an inch or two of snow on Friday.

The boys were so excited to play in it,

they didn't even wait to get dressed.

They just put on their coats, gloves and hats

over their pajamas

and proceeded to throw snowballs

at anything that moved.

Porter spent an hour outside

with his friends after school playing in it.

The funny thing is,

we can't get the boys to play outside

when it's nice and sunny.

But add a little snow

(and chilly temps)

and they don't even have to be asked -

they are out the door.

Hopefully next time we'll get enough for a decent snowman.

On another note,

Porter and I got up at 2:00 a.m. this morning,

got bundled up in our

long-johns

sweaters

scarves

coats

hats

gloves

boots

blankets

and popcorn heating pads

and sat outside

for a bit over an hour

to watch the Leonid meteor shower.

We saw about a dozen;

but I think enjoyed looking

at all the beautiful stars even more.

There are some perks to living in a little town...
