First snowfall

Yesterday we got our first snow of the season. The kids were so excited. As soon as they got home from school they got on their snow clothes and went outside. Makenna even went down to the basement by herself (usually she it too scared to go by herself beacuse of the spiders and everything) and brought the snowpants and boots up. They played until supper time. It was a really wet snow so they came in soaked through but very happy. It all melted today. The kids were upset, but I was glad. Michael has to go on another trip this weekend, so I am hoping for everything to stay melted. He has to go to Minneapolis, then to Chicago, Ohio, and Kentucky (driving, of course). He'll leave Saturday and get back early Tuesday morning. Not too much fun for him. I am not too excited about it either. I have to speak in church on Sunday and I will have the kids by myself. I'll have to find some one to sit with the kids while I speak, but Olivia is not too keen on any one but mom and dad right now. I'll also have to have her while I do music and sharing time. Can we say slight distraction? Oh well, it will be fine I'm sure and if not - not much I can do about it! I can't get my pictures to download so I will have to add them later.
