Snow Day

Well, Spring Break is just weeks away and Winter decided to show up. We've had an inch of snow here and there, but it's been quite awhile since we've seen some. Just 2 days ago I was wearing flip-flops. This has been one of our driest winters so far. I'm pretty sure it's due to us being 100% prepared for it this year. We had snow suits and boots all ready since last October, but no snow. Last year we didn't have any gear, and it snowed every other day. Of course, if it snows once, and you don't have what you need, all the shelves are cleared out, and good luck finding what you need. That is just how our luck works around here.
Reece just loved being out there. He was everywhere. Riley was his usual, cautious self. He took big steps, as though he would've been trying to avoid stepping in the snow. He would get mad if we threw a little snow at him. He needed his sunglasses, because the snow was too bright. Where did we go wrong? The final straw, was when Jake threw some snow on him, while shoveling the sidewalk, and it went down his sweatshirt. We almost had a meltdown. I had to quickly take him into the garage and strip him down as fast as I could. He did NOT like how cold the snow was. That is when he decided he was better off watching cartoons in our warm house. Thanks DAD!


Reece had a blast running and jumping in the snow. Riley didn't have as much fun.
