snow day!

Last weekend we got our first real snow of the season! When I woke up to feed Lila at 3:45 am, I looked out the window and was so excited I could hardly fall back to sleep!

Jack was just as excited, but to tide over his excitement I scooped him a bowl of snow to nibble on (gross?) until we could get all geared up for the frigid temps!

We had a blast: we made snow angels, threw snowballs at Daddy while shoveled the driveway, pushed our dump truck through the snow, used the trash can lid as a makeshift sled :), and took the occasional break in the garage to get some relief from the wind!

I love this weather in short spurts, but I can't handle it for long periods of time...I'm just about ready for spring...

Snow day!

Yesterday after work, we took advantage of the first good snow of the season! I was determined to play in the snow and build a snowman. I had my mind set.

Unfortunately, the wind-chill kept our snowy adventure short and snowman-less (it was bitter cold!), but Jack didn’t seem to mind.

He learned to make a snowball...

I even put the boys to work shoveling the driveway. I think one had more fun than the other, apparently 'pretend' shoveling is more fun than 'real' shoveling!

The one, lone picture of Jack and I. I do exist, I'm just normally behind the camera!

As you can see, he thoroughly enjoyed the cold. In fact, it was hard to get him to come inside. We had to lure him with hot (lukewarm) chocolate...and soon his rosy cheeks returned to a nice peachy color again.

Speaking of cheeks, check out the before and after! Poor little guy!

But he did have fun...now if only the weather would warm up to like the high 20s we could really enjoy the snow! :)
