Friday: surprises

The first surprise today was related to the weather.  When we were eating breakfast, the view out the back looked like this:

Thirty minutes later, it looked like this:

We got close to an inch over the day, but most of it was within the first hour.  It was such a sudden change from the weather that we have been having that it surprised everyone.  It was good for sledding though!

The second surprise was one thought of by Isaac.  Our practice run worked better, but the way it ended up meant that Isaac got to see the surprise instead of being in his room.  (The crying is from Joshua, who had just slipped and face-planted.  He was jumping because he was so excited that Ben was home.)

Isaac thought of the surprise all by himself and prepped most of it, while I helped with the actual implementation.

(Oh, I realized it's a bit hard to see.  Isaac is pulling a yarn string (which breaks half way through) and dumps purple pieces of paper onto Ben.
