Our First Big Snowfall


We woke up this morning to about 6 inches of snow and still falling. The first real snowfall is always exciting, especially for Tyler and Spencer. For them it means snowball fights, snow angels and building snowmen (although today I found out that Spencer doesn't really know how to make a snowman??? I'm gonna have to have Blake get out there and show him what's what!)
For me though it means Blake taking the van and leaving me stranded because there was no way I was letting him drive his scooter in the snow (he's crazy enough that he just might have tried) and his busted up lincoln wouldn't start (tell me again why that piece is still sitting in our driveway??) It also means freezing my buns off while the kids run around gleefully in the snow. It's worth it though to see how happy they are :)
Don't let me fool you, I really am excited for winter. There's something about snow that makes me feel all warm and cozy inside and puts me right in the holiday spirit. Christmas here we come!


(my camera battery died so I only got the 2 pictures and I didn't even get one with Tyler looking :( I'm not worried though, because I'm sure I'll have plenty of chances if this winter is anything like the last!)

So you did go outside and let them play! You're such a good mom. :) It looks like they had fun. LOVE the picture of Brooklyn! I know how it feels to be stranded. :)
