It's Snowing!!!!

Yes, no joke! This morning here in Ohio, there are big, white, fluffy snowflakes filling the air! It is a beautiful thing, but kinda wierd that it is Oct 23rd and this is our second snow of the year already. I hope this does not mean it will be a bad winter. Last winter was VERY mild, so hopefully this winter will not try to make up for that. It does look wierd to see my neighbor's lawns filled with leaves and pumpkins....that are being snowed on!

Maddelyn was excited to see it snowing this morning. Once of the first things she said to her dad was "so is my new sister coming today?" See, back in the late Spring when we found out I was pregnant, it was hard to explain to Maddelyn how long it would be until the baby arrived, so I said after it snows and after Christmas we would get our baby. Well it snowed today!!! She also told me today "but we don't have a tree at our house." Meaning she was worried about not having a Christmas tree up yet! It's hard to set up a time table for a three year old on winter when the first snow comes in OCTOBER!!! Poor little thing thinks it is time for Christmas and the baby that is due in Jan!

It's also kinda wierd to think that we were camping yesterday and now it's snowing!!! That kind of tells you what the weather was like for us. It was cold and rainy most of the weekend, but Saturday was beautiful and about 55? But we were all troopers and had fun camping out in it anyways. On Thursday night we actually had about 30 people huddled under huge umbrellas sitting in lawn chairs around the fire. As long as no one moved we all stayed dry and warm.

I think we ended up with about 40 people there including 13 kids, 4 and under. I always tell people that our family has them in litters!!! We had 3 sets of twins in that group as well! So, needless to say our camping lot was filled with 13 bikes, wagons, strollers, baby dolls, and such! It was nice that they all got to play together though. It is so hard for them when all their cousins are states away.

Trick-or-Treating went well. The girls all looked so cute in their fairy princess outfits. They both had tiny tiaras on as well as their Tinkerbell wings. I have a bunch of pictures to download hopefully tonight once I can sit and sort through them. Emma was so funny this year. We would go to a campsite and get a piece of candy in her pumpkin bucket and she would just stare at it until someone else put more candy into the bucket! Eventually she would say "get candy" each time someone put more in. She did sneak one sucker while we were walking around, but that is not bad after seeing her eyes each time candy was placed in her bucket. My child LIVES for food!!!
