New Word for the Day: "Snow"




Was it just last week I was complaining about the heat? In typical Montana fashion, fall lasted about two days. We've had our first winter storm this weekend--right when I had finally scheduled a hike with some other moms without kids! However, Nate still watched Claire at home yesterday while I went to town to a big consignment sale where I found Claire's new-to-us snowsuit, just in time! She wasn't sure about how to walk once she was all bundled up and outside in the snow, and, of course, once we were inside and all undressed she started asking about going outside again. Claire's not having much difficulty with the word "snow" since it's so close to another of her favorites "NO."

a snow storm??
I can't believe it already! And your previous post had all those cute kids sitting in the sun working on their tans.
I won't rub it in how beautiful it has been here all weekend (blue skies, sunny, about 80 degrees... perfect margarita drinkin' weather!)

also - might have to steal your term "new-to-us", as I am BIG fan of hand me downs and gently used clothes. I haven't used that expression before, love it!

You are one step ahead of us. I just got Julia a winter coat, but haven't dealt with the snowsuit thing yet......memories of the boys spending very little time in them, but then again, this isn't Montana! I guess you'll get a lot of use out of the snowsuit.

By the way it's 75 degrees here!
