Last year, we got tons of snow. Lots and lots of heavy, fun-to-play-in, thigh-deep snow. And Sarah hated it.
This year we have had nothing more than a couple dustings of snow. It's that annoying amount of snow that requires shoveling but doesn't even cover all the leaves still hanging out in your yard (stupid late-dropping oak trees!).
And Sarah loves it.
As soon as Daddy went out to shovel, she had her own boots and coat on and was out there playing in the "snow," too!
One of the things Sarah has enjoyed the most this winter is stomping in the snow. There can be a 1/4 inch of snow in the corner of the parking lot at Target, and we'll have to walk over and "stomp it." Imagine her joy when Tom's shoveling made actual piles of snow!
Eventually, she headed out into the yard to explore the snow (notice the beautiful oak leaves).
Then she discovered that there was snow on our front steps!
Time to explore the yard on the other side of the driveway!
Sarah has also discovered that she really likes to eat the snow!
So what do you do with a girl that eats snow? First, you teach her that it's only okay to eat clean, white snow. Then, you teach her that snow tastes even better when you make it into snow ice cream!
She was even nice enough to share with Daddy! I have no doubt that snow ice cream was exactly what he wanted when he came inside from shoveling...
It may not have been a lot of snow, but Sarah sure enjoyed it. Plus, we'll have a mostly-white Christmas this year!
