Subject: First snow, excitement and pink toes

As we woke up today in the morning, we saw snow had fallen overnight and it was still snowing.
All three children were immediately excited and ran out into the garden to make their first tracks.
After breakfast it cleared up a little and so we all went to town. The children in warm jackets, pants and legwarmers, barefoot as always, my husband and me in long coats, wool scarves, boots and hats. We did a long walk through a snowy park and the kids were a special kind of excited as they ran out onto the soft fresh powder snow covering the grass, we picked up a package from the post office and bought some groceries before we got home. I carefully observed my children's snowy feet that soon took on a vivid pink colour, they kept moving wildly which is just the right thing to keep yourself warm, and soon took off their beanie caps, their ears were hot red as well. Some other people stood there speechlessly observing them, one just said "Cool!"
Back home we prepared a hot vegetable curry for lunch and just to go sure I checked all my children's feet: No sign of frost blisters on any of the toes, all glowing red and (as a side note) cleaner than they would get in the shower. Touching them felt absolutely fantastic, so warm and lively. Now the kids are going out on their own to enjoy the afternoon, it looks like the snow really got them a boost of energy and confidence and I'm confident they'll hold up as well as they did in the morning. I will check their feet again at bedtime.
