The First Snow...

...Of the season for Reed and the first snow of her lifetime for Willa was experienced last weekend. Being the committed farmer he is, Reed did not let a little dusting of snow stop him from working the "fields" with his tractors. Willa was intrigued by the very cold, transient newness of snow. She also spent some time trying to remover her hood (see the final photos of this post). Oh, and Reed and Willa's mommy learned exactly why preschool classes do not go outside to play in the snow very often. Despite complete cooperation from both Reed and Willa, we spent 35 minutes getting dressed to play outside for 25 minutes to then spend another 15 minutes getting undressed in the mud room and then making hot chocolate. Lots of time spent, but none of it wasted... we are looking forward to many adventures in the snow this coming winter!
