first (walking) snow

yesterday was the first day of falling snow he has ever seen as far as mason was concerned. he was so excited when he looked outside that he was banging on the window and pointing at the falling snow. and when i got out his snow boots he really got excited and ran to get his coat (so we could leave). i let mason and madelyn stand out in the falling snow for a little while before taking madelyn to school. that was when it occurred to me that he couldn't walk (or even crawl) last winter so this was super exciting for him and a "first" of sorts.


madelyn was showing him how to pick it up and throw it. she really, really, really wanted to get out her shovel to clear the driveway but i told her that it wasn't enough snow and that we needed to get to school. there wasn't any accumulation of snow, just what would be considered a dusting, but it was pretty falling most of the day as flurries.


i just had to note this since he was so excited. i also guess that this was technically maddux' first snow too. he will probably enjoy next winter a little more. love.
