#19 of 365- January 20, 2011

Woke up to snow this morning! Although it's not as much as some of our neighboring counties who are seeing 9+ inches. We have maybe 3-6 inches.

Taylor's 1st Snow!

Alternatively titled: Taylor's obvious disdain for the white fluffy stuff!

After a friend posted a picture of her son in his highchair with some snow, I realized this was Taylor's 1st snow. Since she is still too little to put our in the snow, and now sitting up, and it was like single digits cold. I decided to try the highchair thing.


Let's just say she was not a fan. She did the one finger touch and then would pull her hand so fast, and make the funniest faces!


And watching her taste this white stuff was even more funny! She still only used the one finger, but she seemed to entertain this idea a little better than just playing with it.


Oh Taylor you will learn to love this fluffy white stuff. There will be many snow ball fights, snowman building, snow angel making, and sledding in your future. And I am sure you will still eat it. I know your brother's do!

Here is to hoping the snow melts and comes back just for Christmas day. Because lets face it momma does NOT like driving in the snow, and I want to get out of the house!

And that's all I have to say. Goodnight all!

Snow

We woke up yesterday morning to SNOW! The boys were super excited, and wanted to go out to play first thing in the morning.

While it's nowhere close to as much snow as say, Minnesota! It was enough to cover everything and enough for the boys to enjoy. Around 10 in the morning I finally bundled the boys up in layers and let them go out for a few minutes.

Timothy LOVED it, kept asking me if we could get his bike out and ride it. He was so fascinated with making footprints and throwing snow at his brother, who might I add was totally not having any of that! His favorite thing though, was trying to catch snowflakes on his tongue!

It was extremely windy out, and blowing snow plus like 6 degrees without windchill, made it a quick playtime in the snow. Mason was fine as long as the wind was not blowing. Which was like the whole time. Every time the wind would pick up, and the snow would be blowing all over, Mason would put his head down and come running for the door crying!

After about 7-10 minutes I had the boys come in. Their eyes were running, little noses were running, cheeks were Rosy red and chapped, frozen toes and finger! I wish it wasn't so darn cold out and they could actually play longer and enjoy the snow.

I really wish we had a big hill to sled down too. That was my favorite thing to do as a kid when it snowed. But all we have is one flat yard.

Taylor was napping while the boys were playing so she didn't get to play with any snow in the morning. But that afternoon I put her in the highchair and put some snow on the tray. This is her first snow, and I wanted to see what she would do with it. She wasn't a fan, I will post those pictures tomorrow!

It was a fun morning, a cold one, but fun. If the weather is right, we can expect more snow on Wednesday. I really need to go to the grocery store too. I guess I better do that tonight or tomorrow, huh? I hate driving in the snow!

What is your favorite thing to do when it snows?

Baby It's Cold Outside!

Our 2nd snow of the year, first was on Thanksgiving, but not enough to play in. This morning I let the boys go out for a few minutes to play. It is FREEZING here, the roads are bad, and we are staying inside where it is warm!

It's nap time now, or it's suppose to be nap time but I hear the boys playing in the room. I am off to eat some lunch and relax on the couch!

Have a great Sunday!
