This was the view from our breakfast table this morning.
About a month ago, I stepped out onto the deck and took these pictures.
Then the winter weather came and jealously beat the colors with rain and hail and frosty wind. Yet we still had some semblance of Fall around here. But snow in October? This is a little ridiculous.
Grace had a great attitude about it. Grant is a chatter box and Gracie and I make a game of guessing what he is saying. Although, last night, he clearly spoke Mandarin to our waitress at the China Buffet King. True story. More on that later. Anyway, during breakfast Grace told me that Grant was happy because it was such a beautiful day outside.
She then began making plans to venture outside to make 'angel jacks' (snow angels + jumping jacks). I put her winter stuffs on right over her PJs.
Grant pleaded to go out too. Sorry, Bud. But he and Grace shared a long, warm bubble bath to celebrate the first snow.

we had a big snow storm her 2 weeks ago. When I was little we had to wear our snow pants and coats under our costumes to stay warm when we went trick-or-treating!
What crazy weather...hailstorms through sunlight? Let's just hope it is gone for trick or treating this Friday.
I'm not ready for this weather yet!!!
Fall in Michigan is so fleeting, which is really a shame because it is so beautiful.
I'm sorry it is winter there already. I'm not a big fan of winter. I remember to enjoy one of the best falls I can remember Utah having. Will it be better in Illinois?
This comment is actually from Shiloh. He say you are only moving to get out of your new calling. :)
I loved the snow clothes but were those crocs for shoes? I love it. I guess you haven't had a chance to buy new snow boots? :)
No fair! I want snow!!! And we usually get our snowfall by the end of October, but this year is not looking promising. :(
Shiloh- Ha ha. Nice buddy. You're not the first one to accuse me of this. What can I say?
Melissa- Yep, those are crocs. They were the only shoes on hand that would fit over her sleeper PJ feet.
I'm totally loving her hair in the pic where Grant is looking out the window. HILARIOUS!!!!!!
What gorgeous pictures! And what adorable children. "Angel jacks"--I love it!!
I love fall a little too much to want snow now also. Sorry your fall was a little spoiled.. hopefully the snow will melt and stay away for a little longer.
I Love the picture of Grant standing at the door. Nothing breaks your heart than a little begger to go out side...Mason is the same way:)
Camille- I know. We've got bed head issues!
