First Snow!

It snowed here last night, leaving a wet covering of white flakes all over the yard. This morning, the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the world is denying that the mixed precipitation ever happened. However, there is a chill in the air and hot cocoa on my mind.

The highlight of the weekend was Saturday afternoon and evening. I modeled jewelry for Turtle Love Committee's new line of necklaces. I'll let you know when they are made available! We then spent a lovely evening visiting with friends whose daughter is about 6 weeks older than Vi. The two girls played really well all night - taking turns, singing songs, make-believe baking...it was all very sweet. As usual, Vi ended up naked. Is this something other kids her age do? I mean, the kids she plays witih usually follow her lead, so I know it's not totally weird...but Vi is ALWAYS the instigator in the "I wanna be a naked baby" game.

We bought Vi some more big girl underpants this weekend, too. She'll start wearing them to school soon. Hurray! My favorites are the Thomas the Tank Engine boys' underpants. There's something very cute about a little rumpus in boys' briefs.

Today is Monday, and the morning came too early. As I mentioned before, hot cocoa would really be nice today. Especially wonderful if enjoyed on the sofa, in front of the wood stove, in my pajamas. Yes, Winter is here.
