franceslievensFriday had me looking up at the sky several times, wishing the white stuff would wait for just another hour or so, so I could get home. Of course I ended up getting caught in the middle of the snowfall on my walk home with Little Bit and Wriggly Bum. LB enjoyed herself immensely, running through the white stuff with her hands tucked deep inside her pockets (it's a compromise: she doesn't like her mittens, but must have warm hands). The Bumster couldn't care less. She was tucked under a blanket in her stroller and saw the world disappear under a sheet of accumulated snow on the rain-cover. It prompted her to fall asleep.
I wrote Little Bit's name in the snow, and got asked to do some animals too. So there was a crocodile (easy), a swan (that couldn't fly), a hippo (with a big behind), and LB drawing an elephant with a looooong trunk and long legs. We needed 45 minutes for a walk that usually takes us between 10 and 20 minutes. By the time we arrived home we were little snow figures and it had stopped snowing.
There hasn't fallen much snow, but enough to hurry to Decathlon (where everyone gets their kids their sports gear) to buy snow-boots and a sled, which resulted in this:

As to the mittens problem: I made the discovery that H&M have knit finger gloves in toddler sizes which granted aren't much use in snow as they get soaked through but which are great for general cold weather. The little one has been told that they're fire-fighter's gloves (he knows that those are part of the standard kit) and he loves them.
