We had snow on the ground for what seemed like a record amount of time, about 3 weeks. The girls had so much fun playing outside, althoug it was pretty cold. David devised a way to help Lauren's hands and arms stay warmer; he cut holes in an old pair of white socks so she could slip the socks on her hands, then put her gloves on over the socks. That way she had another layer covering her wrists. She got a kick out of him cutting his old socks for her! She looked over and saw his dress socks and said, "Daddy you can't cut those socks. They are for your handsome days!" She makes us laugh all of the time! :)
Although it has snowed a few times earlier this winter, the boys had their first encounter with it on February 1st. I bundled them up and set them on a blanket in the back yard. At first, they were kind of happy to be outside, but they weren't too excited about being all bundled up. After several pictures, their little faces started getting cold, and it was all downhill from there. When I tried to drop some snow on their hands so they could feel it, well, let's just say they weren't impressed with the cold, wet white stuff and they wanted to go INSIDE! Maybe next year they will want to build a snowman??
