SNOW!?!

So yesterday morning, I went to wakeup Joshua for his shower at 630am. I opened the shutters in this room to let the sun in and looked out the window. I couldn't believe what I saw-a couple of inches of snow on the ground and cars. It was on the road too, but already melting fast. We haven't seen snow in a while and didn't quite expect to see it here, quite so soon. They do get snow here often, especially in the mountains. However, last week Joshua was wearing shorts to school as it was about 75 F during the day.
It ended up being such a fun day. The kids didn't have school so we stayed home the whole day. We watched movies, read books (we are reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader outloud together), and worked around the house. We of course had to have some hot chocolat. The kids went out in the snow first thing, but they didn't last long. It was very cold and then started raining!


Here are a few pictures of the snow:
