Snow Day
















Yesterday we had a snow day and Evan's school was cancelled. We ended up with 8 inches of heavy wet snow! It was pretty from inside but a mess to drive in. Julia was so happy that her big brother was home. I wanted to take Julia outside to build a snowman since we have been reading so many stories about snowmen. It was kind of funny when I dressed her in long underwear, boots, hat, scarf, mittens and she just stood there like a statue. I went walking into the drift in the front yard and she followed and I told her she had to lift her legs up and she got stuck and I lifted her up and her boots stayed in place and her socks just came out. It was at the moment that I knew she had to stand and watch on the walkway while I put together my own snowman. Julia helped me with the finishing touches. I wanted to make a large one but Julia was too cold to stay outside. She took a fall right into a puddle in the garage and her mittens were soaked and that is when we went in. Evan ended up deserting us for sledding with his neighbor friends at a local park. Today was extremely cold so got caught up with a lot of indoor Christmas preparation! Donna Joe and Lauren...Arizona is looking great about now!

  1. I can't imagine dealing with all those clothes in the Winter. Must make potty training tricky. Stay warm.

  2. Nah!!! Give me winter and lots of snow anytime!!! There's nothing like it and you would miss it if you didn't have it!! Although the frigid cold and wind I could do with out!!
    Julia looks adorable. Sierra didn't come in until 5:30 on that day I was talking to you.. At 5:00 she sat on the porch waiting for her Daddy to come home!
