Playing in the snow

This morning I decided the Gs and I needed to go out and play in the snow. Shocked?? Yeah, me too. I really do detest the stuff. But I thought it would be fun for them, and really I would do anything to make my babies happy.

So, we bundled up. They all looked at me nuts when I had them all put on two pairs of pants, and two pairs of socks. G4 wanted to wear a different coat, that isn't quite as heavy. I bribed her with the little shovel and she cooperated in getting her heavier coat on.

Ready and excited to head outside:


G1 got right out there and threw himself into the snow:
G4 wanted to stand in the door and shovel from there:

She didn't make her way very far off the porch:
I got snow in G2's face, oops!:

I think G3 was making a snow angel here:


The snow was up past my knees in some places. G1, being as light as he is, was able to stand up on top of the snow, making him taller than me:
Getting ready to throw snow at each other:
G3 had just thrown snow in G2's face:
I got snow all over G1:

G3 making a big snow ball:
My snow angel:
G2 and I's snow angels and G2 making another:


Happy sticking to the porch:
G1 making a snow angel:

His snow angel is in there somewhere:
Getting ready to jump:
Jumping:
Landing:
Jumping on the porch as well:
We had a lot of fun. Matt got home, from working all night and over this morning, right after we got outside. The Gs were pretty excited to see him (me too!). We only spent about 30 minutes out in the snow and probably would have stayed out longer but Matt was ready to come in and it was lunch time.

I doubt we will go back out today because all of our stuff is wet, but maybe this weekend if it doesn't get to gross.

  2. How fun. I'm glad you had a good time together. You can tell G4 is your child. Maybe next year she will enjoy it more, but it looked like she had fun shoveling.

  3. Oh, another comment about G1's snow angel in there somewhere, sometimes you have to look really hard to find the angel in a five year old, but there is always one there even if it doesn't always show. Grammy always sees it in him though. I love that boy. (all the others too.)
