We asked for it...

We wanted snow. We wanted to run around, build snowmen, throw snowballs, and drink hot chocolate. We got it. And got it. And got it. Please go away now snow. I'm ready for spring.
The worst part, when it snows an inch or so the plow comes right away down our road. When it snows a ton, the plow forgets about us, always. So while yesterday all the major roads were cleared we were stuck at home with over a foot of snow still laying on our road. The plow guy forgot us, literally. Our neighbors called at least four times and one even drove by the plow place to make them come over. It worked. They finally plowed late last night. Just in time for the snow today and tomorrow!

Of course I had to put Bryer in the snow for his first real experience.
He loved it. Flapping his arms and everything! Laughing, smiling.

Then he tried to crawl. The laughter stopped. Smiles turned into frowns. At least he got to feel the snow. And he's so easy to get ready to take out. All I have to do is slip him into this one piece outfit, zip it up, and away we go. Not so much for Sadie and me. Takes at least ten minutes of getting ready, all for ten minutes of playing. And we did this twice yesterday! Ya, I dressed us all up twice and we played outside for ten minutes each just to come in and get all undressed, again. So not worth it...at least we got hot chocolate, twice.

Sadie is more into the snow this year than last year. As you can see, nothing is gonna stop her from pushing her stroller, not even a little snow.



We also had a fun snowball fight with Daddy. Daddy got taken down. I gotta teach my girl how to defend herself, right?
Now we are all tired of the snow and dying to get out. I can only take so much of being stuck at home. We're gonna turn into The Shining over here. Please send help.
