Our first snow came a little early this year.
In fact, I read in our paper that the last time a measurable amount of snow hit our area in October was 1925. But then, this year we have had tornados, crazy flooding, and an earthquake, so really, who wouldn’t expect a nor’easter to hit in October?
Ben and his friend Nathan went into business and shoveled neighbors’ driveways. They didn’t set a fee, but most neighbors gave them a little something and they both earned over $30 by the end of the day! And Ben slept really really well Saturday night.
Maddie built a snowman and put her pumpkin to good use as the snowman’s head!
Maddie is trying to use the slide to roll the second ball up onto the first ball.
Daddy to the rescue!
Jack looked at snowflakes with his magnifying lens and basically went in and out of the house 53 times, requiring many pairs of gloves, hats, and socks, and multiple mugs of cocoa.
(Note that he put his hat and a pair of earmuffs on over his hood…)
By the next day some of the snow had melted enough that we were still able to enjoy our annual neighborhood Halloween party, and tonight we will be trick-or-treating!
But I still feel like Mother Nature decided to pull an October Fool’s Joke on us.

We had a similar storm October 2006 so I know just how you feel. It was known as the Arborgeddon Storm since we lost so many trees. Glad you were able to enjoy it and still get to trick-or-treat.
Well, it's good to know that Jack knows how to keep his noggin warm. Your flower pictures are great! I took some of our still-mostly-buried, smashed and sad mums and geraniums but they don't look anything like yours. When you going to start getting paid for this?
cute costumes! I am going to try the snowman slide next time!
Great pictures, as always! I followed the link back to your Halloween post from last year; loved the Jersey Shore outfits!
What the what??? It was a chilly 50 something degree Halloween for us! Brrrrrrr.... I love Maddie's gnome costume! So funny! I can't get over all the snow you got. That is crazy!!!!
I love your title...Merry Halloween and what a fun idea to use the pumpkin with the snowman! This will sure be a Halloween for the memory books.
