Some More Snow Fun!

Last weekend we got a couple of inches of snow and we were ready to GO! This time we actually put our snowsuits on and stayed out for a while!

First Michael and I did a quick shovel of the driveway and the kids seemed to enjoy trying to help with the snow shovels!

What's gonna work? TEAMWORK!

Although, I will say, if they actually wore the mittens CORRECTLY, lifting the snow shovel would be a lot easier! They just cannot seem to steer their thumbs into the thumb hole!

After our quick shovel, we got the sled out! Go, Daddy, GO!

Colin soon bailed out of the sled though; he preferred to just roll around in the snow! He loved it! I tried tossing some snow up in the air and it landed all over his face, and he even loved that! Soon though, he incorporated his favorite crashing game into his snow play!


The best part of that video is that you get a small taste of Colin's "stream of consciousness" talk. He just talks incessantly, about anything, and everything. He thinks it, he says it. Daddy thinks he's going to be a color commentator for a sports show.

Gillian preferred to stay on the sled with Daddy. She rode for a while, then took a turn trying to pull the sled up the hill.

She had fun, but she got cold pretty fast (it was only about 20 degrees), so she and I went inside to warm up. Daddy and Colin stayed out for more snow fun, but the camera went in with me!

Colin wants to make a snowman in the WORST way, but so far, no packing snow. We'll keep trying!
