First Lesson ...

Today we had our first real snow fall. It was Austin's first time shoveling - boy howdy, was he thrilled! I had to go shovel the other day and he cried because he had homework and I went out without him. :) Let's see how long
that lasts! Oh, we're supposed to have a blizzard this weekend. My son's first comment on that was "blizzards taste good!". Youth ...

Here it is ... the lesson!

Austin, going solo ...

the snow here is actually light, but he makes it look heavy ...

he's concentrating so hard, he's sticking his tongue out! :)

Melissa, coming home from school ... just in time!
note the shovel isn't for snow ... it's for cow poo-poos! :)

Melissa's solo act ... note: real young women don't wear gloves or mittens!

she is "done" ...

snow angels are the best!

bbrrr ... sticky snow ...

Jacob threw some snow on Austin ... bam!

it's not winter until you have snow down the neck!

When Austin and Melissa are done shoveling, please send them to my house to shovel our 150-or-so foot driveway and sidewalks. Thanks! ;)

it's beautiful! even though we've had snow for A WHILE, I still think it's pretty- especially when it sparkles in the sunlight. Hopefully the novelty of shoveling won't wear off too soon :)
