Snow!

On Thursday it snowed here, I'm pretty sure it snowed more than a foot! (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.) It went on and on and on. Cooper of course was very excited. It was the perfect snow to play in! It packed great and there was no breeze so it wasn't miserable to be outside.

But, it was a little exhausting for me. We of course don't have great winter gear here since it snows maybe once or twice a year. So it took FOREVER to get dressed with all of the layers and both boys. Then by the time we were ready, had been outside for probably 5 minutes, Jackson started crying. So we played outside for a few minutes with him crying and then went in to feed him and put him to bed. After that Cooper had a melt-down and had to go to time out, and by the time he was acting appropriately enough to go back outside Jackson had been sleeping for quite awhile. So of course, we get all dressed, get our wonderful target sacks around our feet to keep them dry (isn't that awful??), are literally stepping outside, and Jackson wakes up and cries. So again, we play outside a few minutes, come back in, take off the sacks and shoes... and he falls asleep! He did this one more time until we finally came in for good. It was exhausting! Luckily Ryan came home early that day and could go back out with Cooper that afternoon.

Jackson's all ready to go outside!


Not loving it.

With the snowman we made.

Cooper's first snow angel.

This is him making the snow angel. He just layed with his eyes closed so he wouldn't get snow in them!
