Snowed Out, January 19

Just when we thought all the snow we could take had fallen we woke up to another 6-7 inches this morning. All of the nicely shoveled surfaces were once again covered in a thick blanket of white. Liam practically bounced out of bed. Once he saw the snow he was beside himself asking to go outside right away. Connor is pretty indifferent. He likes the idea of going outside, but once he gets out there he is NOT a fan of snow that makes it difficult to walk.

After nap time we headed outdoors. Wait, that makes it sound way too easy. First we went through the ritual 20 minute getting the snow clothes on, no easy feat, I assure you, THEN we headed outdoors. There was about a foot and a half of snow on the ground, plus large piles left from Mark's shoveling. As predicted, Liam had a ball climbing the hills, not minding even when he lost a boot. Connor wasn't really enjoying himself until we got in the backyard.

Today's picture is of the boys inside their playhouse. Normally they'd walk right up and open the door. Today they had to climb in the side all Dukes of Hazzard style. Once they crawled in they got down to the usual business however and had an amazing time. Snow is great, but enough is enough. Although as I type this more snow is falling. Who knows, maybe by tomorrow the playhouse will be covered?
