Snow! Snow! And lots more SNOW! Seems to me that a huge snow cloud has parked itself right above us out here in Idaho. We have snow for about 3 days straight now with more in the forecast! I am enjoying the wintry weather as long as the roads don't get to icy.

Besides, this is really the first time that Caleb and Emma have never really played in snow before. So I was just waiting for the "perfect" day to play in the snow. I wanted lots of fluffy snow, but not the bitterly cold weather like we had last week. We got lucky that we had snow and it warmed up enough that your nose hairs did freeze as soon as your stepped outside!

We bundled the kiddos up in their snow pants, coats, hat, mittens and boots. Out we went to the front yard, because daddy had to shovel the side walk and drive way. First, we just made trails around the yard. They thought this was wonderful! They would take a few steps then turn around and look at their footprints behind them. It was so cute!

Caleb, of course, saw the blow up snowman in the neighbors yard and start singing "Bosty da Nonan" at the top of his lungs! It was so funny! He was singing and dancing in his snowsuit! He could hardly move...but he was doing his best!

Daddy came out to shovel and play. Daddy started with the driveway and they didn't pay too much attention to him. But when he started the sidewalk, that was a different story! Ha Ha! They followed daddy down the sidewalk like baby ducks! It was so cute!!! I was laughing so hard. They just waddled along after him! It was like watching a couple penguins.

After daddy was done we all played a little bit longer, but our noses and cheeks were pink. We decided it was to head back inside. Caleb had other plans. He did not want to come inside. He cried and cried. We got out of all our coats and other warm clothing. We decided to watch out new favorite..."Frosty the Snowman" or Bosty as Caleb calls him.

It was a fun time in the snow! A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
