We had a lovely weekend. Gospel meeting and workers Friday night, then over to Mom and Dad's early Saturday morning to see cousins and Scott and Sarah. Workers came over for lunch. The first snow, Saturday afternoon. A lazy Saturday afternoon, while Justin and Evan worked on installing our new furnace. Then to Owen and Ashley's for Hoyt's second birthday party.
But these are the pictures of Sunday afternoon. A lazy, cozy, snowy afternoon.
Hoyt was cutely reading to Abilene, but he got a little silly when I got the camera out.

Then, Elsie somehow locked herself in the bathroom, which added a lot of excitement to the afternoon. She can unlock the outside door at our house, which involves a deadbolt and doorknob lock, but was stymied by the lock she had just locked in the bathroom. Five guys all giving advice and lot of excited kids jabbering around. For some reason, that door lock involves a key, long lost in the mists of time. I think Dad did discover it finally, to get her out.
Sarah and Abilene watching progress
Apparently no on is up on lock picking.
After a few minutes, Owen decided to put an older kid through the window to unlock the door, which excited the older kids greatly. Unfortunately for them, the door was unlocked before that was necessary.
Elsie wasn't in the least concerned about the fuss.

Watching it snow
How eight kids neatly put their boots when they come in from the snow.
Poor dogs don't have their winter coat just yet, so they were a little cold.

Tori's calf was out. For some reason, it liked licking Justin's hand
It was very easy to put away

Sigh. This all makes me very happy.
Like all your posts do.
I can just imagine the cacophony of noise around that bathroom door! haha
Be still my heart...beautiful leaf picture AND snow? whew!
And there was something just so Vaughan about seeing the Argentina book at the ready for anyone needing to take a peek.
Well, we have to keep up with our globe trotting sister somehow! Dad bought that book and a map of Argentina before she left.
And the gorgeous leaves and snow was phenomenal. I stood outside in the snow looking up and thought I had never seen anything as beautiful. Of course, I have, but it WAS awesome.
