"A sense of curiosity is nature's original school of education.": "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow"

I peeked out of the curtains around 3ish this morning to see a heavy frost, no snow, but woke up at 7 a.m. to a decent covering of the lovely white stuff and it was still falling! YIPPEE!

No, this isn't our back garden ... though I wish it was!

Kids were out more or less immediately doing those fabulous fun whooppee noises as the children were trudging past the front of the house on their way to school. After breakfast we headed off to town as I had some errands to do and it was wonderful to scrunch through the fresh snow. B managed to aim perfectly with his first snowball and it landed on the back of my neck and trickled down my back and arm - yuk!

After a warm lunch and dry clothes we rescued the sleigh from the loft and headed off to the park for lots more fun. Here's some pics - the smiley faces say it all really. Snow on the trees just looks so magical. We made a snow, mud and twig snowman and managed to pull it all the way home from the park on the sleigh with his head and middle body taking a tumble once we'd reached the front door!
