So the snow turned out to be a substantial fall - it snowed all day yesterday, and the girls and I had a 'snow day' at home, which involved a lot of playing in the snow, coming inside, warming up, drying their stuff, and then heading back out again. There's nothing like the excitement of the first snow fall. Pete and Les made a gigantic snowman, and the girls made their own little one.
It resulted in a decent accumulation, although it did turn to rain last night, at least down here in the valley, so it's now a pretty foggy, slightly soggy, day, but the important thing is precipitation, because that means snow on the mountains. And that means skiing.
Indie also surprised me yesterday by bringing home a calendar that their school had put together as a fund-raiser - each class had read and illustrated a fable, and the best picture from each class was chosen for the calendar. And Indie's picture was chosen for March! She told me so casually I didn't believe her at first, but here she is with the prize-winning picture. Her class's fable was 'La Grenouille qui veut se faire aussi grosse que le Boeuf', and this is a picture of the arrogant frog going 'splat'. We're very proud!
