fresh snow - a photo essay

a day of fresh snow and






a snowman




that ended with megan screaming about her frozen hands. Ah, I guess it wouldn't be a day without Megan crying about something.

Ahh Megan. The crying photo is hilarious. It's rather staggering how often kids cry isn't it? Perhaps they just give in to every single thing they feel and crying is evidence of of that.

The photos are darling. You guys must have gotten a ton of snow because we got a lot down here.

these pictures are great, I love that snowman. poor megan. I can't get alex to understand if he takes his gloves off, it's all down hill from there. I wouldn't be a snow play day unless someone cried right?

I am not a snow person, so I rarely send my kids outside to play in the winter. The only time Kaitlin went out in the snow to play she was a total trooper, and didn't cry once. Her dad has taught her well. He loves snow and cold. She has none of my aversion to it.

The same thing happens here...when we make it through a day without a tear shed I analyze it, trying to find the key to more days like that.

I always love your snow pictures!

Great photos! And, loving the snowmant - so cute.
I wish we would get another great snowfall - love lots of fresh snow and family play-time in it.
I have a little girl who likes a bit of drama too - she even sobs when she says sorry and she has to say sorry three times in a row really fast - quirky and mildly annoying but cute at the same time!!
Thanks for the fun post!

Cute photos, Amy. What a fun mom you are to get out in the snow with them. Eva only tried it once this year and her mittens kept falling off. Then we had crying over cold hands too!

sorry about the typo - traditionally snowman does NOT end with a 't' and NO, it's not some weird Canadian thing, eh!!
Feeling silly today - must be my cold talking!!

Do you mind sharing what lens you used for these photos? And at what settings? I am striving to bring more vibrant colors to my photos and these are just what I am striving to achieve!

I love your story. So typical. Your photos, as usual, are sheer perfection.

Oh, I'm beginning to think we might not get any snow this winter. It's usually a once or twice a year thing, and so far we've not had any stick. I guess it's a little early to write it off, but your pictures leave me with a longing for some snowman fun with my girls.

Megan is so funny.
