Snow, Snow Fun

Snow Day 2010. My boys were SUPER excited, and I even kept J home from preschool so we could play in it together. I'm so glad I did. We went out to play in it throughout the day, had snowball fights, built a snowman, and warmed up by drinking a few cups of hot chocolate. We had to make it special - it hasn't snowed here in six years, and it snowed ALL DAY!

Hubby was still home when I woke up (his work was delayed) and as soon as we realized it had stopped sleeting and was snowing, we woke up J (L was of course, already awake), got the boys dressed and started playing. This picture was taken around 8 a.m. and the boys were lovin' life.

We soon discovered L has a love of the cold. Snow was blowing in our faces, but did he cry? Nope.

He just giggled and had a great time. Until we went inside, and he laid on the floor by the front door crying because he wanted to back outside.

Later, when L was taking a morning nap, J and I went back out to play.

We caught snowflakes...

...made snowballs...

...and had SNOWBALL FIGHTS! (He actually nailed me right in the eye with this one. Took it off our video camera to show you the hilarious look on his face!)

Proud of his aim!

After Dad got home, we went back outside to build our little snow friend. J was sooooo proud!

L was still in awe of the white stuff. He would have stayed outside all day if we had let him. His little nose was so red by the time we went back in! (And yes, he cried again...)

What a fun day! We ended it with a snow angel (caught on video and so funny) and back inside for some more warmin' up snacks. Precious time with our precious boys. And also a good reminder of why we love livin' in Texas...brrrrrrrr it was cold!!! lol
