oh, to be eight again and thoroughly and entirely excited about the first snowfall of the season and all the possibilities it heralds for cross country skiing, building igloos, sledding and, of course, making perfect snowballs.

although it was a light snow with little accumulation that didn’t stay long, odin determined that it was awesome snowball snow.

fun fact, four years ago on election day it was 75°F and we were taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather by pouring cement for our sauna. later that same day odin was pressing his four year old hands in the cement!
