The First Real Snowfall of the Year

So it snowed a little bit earlier in the week, but this morning we woke up to a good 3 inches of snow. By 8:30 we were all ready to get outside to play in it!

Off they go!








Down he goes....the question is - can he get back up????


With a little help from Daddy he can!




Daddy got him with a snowball!


Now it's time to get Daddy back!




Even Nala was having lots of fun running around!


Unfortunately, the gloves didn't last too long. Seriously, how do you get your kid to keep the mittens on????? Actually the question is how do you get them ON so that your kid can actually use his hands??? I can make them tight enough so they don't come off, but he can't function very well...sigh...we'll figure this out!

Luke took a trip down the slide into a pile of snow.


Time to shovel and/or rake!


Then I asked for him to pose in front of the house - this is what I got!


Then he tried to get Nala to pose too!


Then it was time to head to the front so Daddy could shovel. Luke helped too!




Luke thought he could brush the snow off the driveway.


We had lots of fun enjoying the first 'real' snowfall of the winter and it's STILL snowing! Then it was meltdown city when it was time to come in. He didn't want his coat on any longer so I told him we needed to come inside, but then when we were in the laundry room to undress and he wouldn't take his snowsuit or boots off and was throwing a fit over, well, just about everything...is this what happens when kids turn 2 (or are about to turn 2)? Yikes! By 11:30 Luke was asking us to go lay down in his bed...good idea Luke :)
