When Life Gives You Lemons Snow

 
(Yes, you read that right, snow...in early October!)
 
 
Pull on your boots
(not to mention the kids' snowpants, boots, coats, mittens and hats - oh and don't forget to make of list of the too small coats, snowpants, boots and hats that need to be replaced)
 

and follow the kids outside {camera in hand, of course!}
(despite the cold wind and wet snow hitting your face)

 
because they don't care
 

how early the first snow comes.
 
 
Just as long as they can attempt to build a snowman
 
 
and pretend to be a snowplow clearing the road slide.
 
 
They just want to catch snowflakes on their tongues
 
 
and take a sled ride around the yard.
 
 
So try, as hard as you can
 
 
to see the first snowfall through their eyes!
 
At least that's what I did right before I said a little prayer that the snow melts in time for supper because, seriously it's October 4 and it is way, way easier to send them outside withOUT snow!  :-)

That is crazy! But, I remember a few years ago when it did this same thing down here on October 1st. Is the snow gone?
