first snow

We got some snow (I'm thankful that this is the latest beginning of winter that we've had since I moved here thirteen years ago, I think!), so of course Seth needed to go play in it.

He kept pulling his arms up in this "here I go!" kind of pose before . . .


. . . plunging his hands into the new snow :-)


Then he found the table full of snow . . .


. . . what fun!

And he decided to be helpful and clean the snow off the deck railing. He kept sweeping it onto his face, though. He never cried, but he didn't exactly know how to get it off him since his hands had snow all over them, too. So he spit several times and called it good enough.


I didn't think he was going to run out of entertainment on the deck, but when I went down the steps to sweep the snow off them, he followed me and went into the back yard. I was able to capture his first tumble of the winter:


When he picked himself back up, his hat was all messed up.


Who needs a hat anyway? It's above zero degrees.


This picture sums up Seth's general opinion of playing in the snow:
