A bit of snow, slush, rain and a wee little snowman for my Auntie in Alaska

Finally, something to write about.  We postponed school this morning.  Something that's awful hard for me to do but we had snow last night.  A good six inches fell and by this afternoon it may be all gone.  I have never experienced such crazy winter weather in any other state than the grand state of Washington.  Nothing prepares you for temperature swings of 40 degrees in a 12-24 hour period.  I know even the native, multiple generation Washingtonians have trouble figuring out which "layers" to wear each day.  Me, I go with the long sleeve shirt and fleece vest.  If you ever look in my closet you would see a rainbow of fleece vest.  These things rarely wear out and they fit at nearly any weight.  Priceless.  Genius really.
I don't have any pictures of my 7 year old because by the time I made it outside - he had already been hit by a snowball in the face and was crying and flinging wet snow gear everywhere.   So, I have a few pics of my book end kids. 

This new camera really captures his eyes nicely.  The little point and shoot I use to use always gave him red eye.


They are working on making a snow fort.



The wee little man.
