Snow Day

Last winter was so unseasonably warm that we only had one real snowfall.  Quite sad for a little boy who wanted nothing more than to get outside and go sledding and make a snowman!  SO……….. when the forecast was calling for accumulating snow last week I was so excited I could hardly stand it.  The snow starting falling around Asher’s bedtime so getting him to fall asleep took longer than normal, but his excitement was so cute!  I took pictures out our front window right before I went to bed, and then first thing that next morning.  Not a huge snowfall, but definitely enough to play in and make the outside look winter-y!!

Asher came bounding into our room at about 6:30 ready to play outside.  :)  I managed to hold him off until about 9:30 (barely).  Here he and Jesse are checking out the white stuff.

Layers are on and mama was sweating.  It’s so much work to get kids snow-ready!  ha!

Not sure what to think, but definitely not hating it.

Trudging along…

Asher had a blast!  It was freeeeeeeezing outside and I could barely get him in.  He and Daisy ran around together and loved playing in the snow.

Jesse spent lots of time falling down and struggling to get up.  (Don’t worry I didn’t let him struggle too much – and to his credit, he got pretty good and getting up on his own.)

At one point he fell down and as he lay on his back looking up at the sky he said, “All done!  All done!”  ha!  :)

The next picture shows when he starting saying a new word……..

“HELP.”  :)  Nothing like a little context to get him saying a few more words!

Here’s hoping we have a winter full of beautiful snow… I know two little boys who would be so happy!
