Look what we got just in time to make trick-or-treating a little bit more treacherous!

I can't complain too much since I thought the heat in Texas was a bit much. I have to pick one climate to be happy with and for now that's Alaska and therefore - snow! The boys were super excited about playing in the snow. They ran to get their snow toys as soon as we got home. Although you can probably tell from the photo that more snow went backwards than forwards with the snow flinger...

Thomas was not deterred by any inaccuracies with his snow flinging though. He was more than happy to be playing outside!

It's a little hard to see, but this particular snowfall would actually pack down, unlike our usual powdery snow that won't keep any shape. Matt finally got to play with the snow block maker - though we didn't get anywhere close to making an igloo...

Henry cracked me up when he walked over. He was all laid back, carrying his snow shovel and sucking on his applesauce pouch. This boy certainly knows how to be laid back when he wants to be. :)

Eliza seemed a little cautious about all this white stuff, but even she was running around in it after awhile. It's not technically our first snow this year, but it was a much more impressive dump than the last one. Here's hoping it is a good winter (unlike last year...) with lots of fun in the snow!
