Fall in Minnesota

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day.
Crisp, cool air.
Bright yellow leaves hanging on to a few stubborn trees.
Then, this morning, I woke up to hear my son squealing...
"It's snowing!"

And I looked out my window to see this:


When I heard that it was supposed to snow this weekend I assumed it would just be flurries. Turns out we could get EIGHT INCHES!
Gotta love Minnesota.

This little guy was in heaven!

In case you were wondering: this is what arnory looks like. :)

Catching snowflakes on his tongue...

I LOVE how this last picture turned out! It's my new computer background. :)

We had fun. Threw lots of snowballs. Then headed inside for hot chai tea and movies. The perfect Saturday. :)

  2. I hope DC doesn't get a winter like we had last year, but 1 or 2 storms wouldn't be too bad - I can't believe you've got snow already!

  5. I have to admit I so enjoy the fact the snow fell in the cities this weekend instead of here. We will get more than our fair share so we are still enjoying the snow free days :)
