Snowy in Seattle

The boys have been interested in the seasons. Today it was cold, Sam asked if it was winter. Later that day it began to snow and after dinner even though it was dark and cold outside the boys wanted to venture to the front yard to see the snow. With great excitement they scraped the white stuff from any surface that snow would stick and yelled "cocoa powder flew everywhere" as they tossed their not so round snowballs into the driveway. Being so proud of their icy find they each brought a snowball into the house to show Kari and Chloe. Sam took off his wet mittens and replaced them with his warm socks to keep his hands safe form the cold as he walked around the house with his prize. They gave one ball to Chloe in her warm bath. She tried to comb the snow with a little pink brush. The boys brought their snowballs with them when it was their turn in the tub. They watched with amazement and disappointment as their snow quickly dissolved in the warm waters of their bath.-----Jeff
