Winter too soon!

We woke up to white snow yesterday morning!! The weather forecast warned of this big winter storm, but I didn't believe it...or didn't want to believe it. Evan asked me...is there still water in the lake? I looked at him puzzled...oh you mean did the water on the lake freeze into ice? Probably not yet, but pretty soon!

So far Alex doesn't like winter. He hates putting on his winter coat and Saturday morning really hated putting on his boots and snow pants!

Evan thought he'd try to bring the tractor out into the snow. Why not?

I got out the sled and took them for a ride around the yard. They didn't really like this very much, because the sled tipped over when I turned a corner and they got dumped out.

I got out the wagon for them and put them in the garage, so they could watch me shovel the driveway. The trees were covered with snow and when the wind would pick up we got pelted with heavy snow. That is no fun! I got them to smile by making snowballs and throwing them at the tree. They thought that was pretty funny!




We stopped at Target the other night after swimming lessons and they had these Halloween cookies on clearance. We decided to buy them and give them a try. This is what they look like when they come out of the package.

This is how they look after they are baked.

Up Close!

Delicious! I guess he liked them, because he ate 3 of them and he is only now getting his appetite back after his surgery.
