when will it end?

yes, these pictures were taken today. if i had a newspaper, i would take a picture of me holding it to prove it.

madeleine was fascinated by the falling snow and kept begging to go outside, so i figured that i would take her out there, she wouldn't like the snow falling on her or the cold, and we'd turn around and come back inside.

apparently she likes the snow.

her hands got cold and she's outgrown her gloves from this season, so i put socks on her hands. finally, she tripped and went down in the snow. she may like falling snow and may not even mind the cold, but she does NOT like wet pants. so, we came in.
