Well we couldn't believe our eyes when we woke up this morning, but we saw white!!! Not much but still some white which is mostly still here and all ice! I think we got a little bit of snow but most of ours was sleet and ice. Emily, Glenn and I stayed out off and on all day. You can see from the pictures above and below both kids were curious about what was outside.
Joseph just couldn't keep himself away from the windows and every time one of us would take her out he would pitch the biggest fit. Of course he had his 2 times outside, as you'll see the pictures below, but it was much to cold to keep him out in it. Also it was still sleeting and raining on and off all day.
I had to throw this one in. He's showing off his skills of standing alone! He's getting so good at it, and it is scaring me because I'm not ready for him to walk yet. He's too little!
Our first snow family portrait with us all.
We couldn't get him to smile, probably because he was freezing to death. This baby cannot stand to get cold. He had so many clothes on I'm for sure he wasn't cold. His cheeks probably were but you can't cover those up.
A few shots from around the house. Emily loved knocking off the icicles everywhere.
Joseph has this look on his face like, "Take me inside now please". So we took him in after we all walked around the house checking everything out.
This is the red-neck version of sledding. Since we never get snow we don't own any skis or sleds, so what is there to use....the turtle top to Emily's sand box. We didn't really have enough to slide on, but we had fun with what we had. The neighbors I'm sure enjoyed watching us have a good time. Oh Joseph was taking a nap while we were out doing this...don't think we left him inside by himself.
Some other neighbors had their own red-neck fun...they were pulling each other by 4-wheeler on a knee board. You can tell by Emily's face below she wasn't so sure about it.
Our snow/ice girl. This was her first outfit, we changed it later after realizing she was almost dressed the same as last years snow girl...we couldn't do that now could we. This years was easier to build because it was wet. Last year the snow we got was so powdery and dry it wouldn't stay together well, and we had to add water to it.
Snow girl's new clothes and added arms!
You may not can see it but we felt sorry for Joseph not having a snowman of his own so we built him a snow baby to the left of the snow girl.
After a long cold day we all enjoyed a warm fire in the fireplace. The kids both love looking at it and staring at the flames. We had a very fun exciting day, and to me this was WAY better than Christmas morning!!! Now after eating some good warm chili and bar-be-que today, my body is slowly shutting down. I nodded to sleep while feeding Joseph tonight and was afraid I was going to drop him laying him down. I'm sure all my muscles will feel it in the morning, but hey, there's no regrets. Playing with your kids, and acting like a kid is the best feeling there is...for one day that is. Stay warm, and may these last few pictures warm you up inside for the night :)
