Today....it snowed! Pretty much the first time all winter, and just a day or two after we had awesome sunny weather in the 60's. Emma has been WAITING and WAITING and WAITING for snow (last year we had tons but she hated it then) so she was pretty excited when I pointed out the window.
It was right during lunch, so instead of heading up to bed we all geared ourselves up (boots, hats, mittens, NOT the short summery skirt Emma was wearing up until then) and went for a walk. They loved it! Nothing stuck since the ground was so warm, and it turned to a sprinkle and then disappeared by midway through our little journey down the street and back. But, with rubber boots on, and puddles and streams of water aplenty on the side of the road, the girls were in heaven.
Elsie got SOAKED, her pants were literally wet up to her crotch, but they all had a blast. They actually stayed together pretty well, and I felt fine with the little ones not holding my hand because disappeared street is pretty tame and they stuck to the edges so much thanks to the puddles. Ha ha! Emma tends to lead, followed closely by Delia, so if they get too far ahead while Elsie dawdles and lingers I just call for them to stop and they do! And wait for us to catch up. Shocking.
Sadly, no photos of my little puddle jumpers today since my camera battery died. Ah well. Now its in the memory books, at least!
