Snow, and New Friends





It snowed!!! We woke up this morning to snow on the ground. It wasn't much, but it was Sarah and Abby's first time to see snow, and they were so excited! I think they were surprised that it was cold and wet - they ran out and wanted to build a snowman, but then they touched it and didn't like their cold hands! Abby really enjoyed being outside in it, though. She played on the trampoline for a long time and caught some snowflakes on her tongue.


After we warmed up a bit, we got ready for our new friends. We were supposed to go to an Easter egg hunt with a group of pre-kindergarteners at DVES. It was at 10:00 in a local park, and all I could think about was how cold it was going to be, and how miserable we would all feel, and how quickly we'd try to leave! So, I decided to invite everyone to our house to mingle indoors, heading out only for the egg hunt. It was an ambitious plan, because I don't know many people in the group, plus we were expecting about 25 kids. But, I figured it would all work out, and it did! We had a blast, and made lots of new friends. What a great group of kids and mommies!

Hi - just surfed in. I loved your blog, especially about the eccentric G&G a few posts back (I think it was back in October...)

Anyway, they sound like great fun. Your explanations made me want to learn more about the concept behind the sunrise "ritual".
