here comes the sun doo doo doo doo

And last night the wind howled and the hail fell and the ice pellets chinked against the window and then it rained. And rained. And rained.



This morning, there was a brilliant blue sky. (Cue birds singing, faint hallelujah chorus here) The snow sparkled. It was a perfect day to go outside.



C ran out, bent on getting to the best spot for digging with his trucks, and went sprawling.



Because under the pretty, pretty snow?

I got a huge kick out of the snowperson. Not as huge a kick as the fact you got the snow and we didn't, but close.
