Snow Days!

Unless you have been living on Mars you know that Georgia has had two very uncharacteristic snow storms in the last several weeks.  The first one wasn't as bad weather wise, but it totally shut down the state. The one this week was worse (loads of sleet, ice, and snow) but, lesson learned, the entire population just stayed home all week. It was really nice to have Rob home all week with M and me, especially since we were able to take Michael out to play in the snow!

In January we only took M out for about 5 minutes. He was fine until he got snow on his hands. I didn't have gloves or mittens for him and he did not like having cold hands! We tried blowing bubbles to see if they would freeze, but it took forever to get one to land without popping then we had to wait for it to freeze. Not as cool or instantaneous as all the online mom blogs would have you believe!

I can't bend my arms.

Excited to go out in the white stuff!

Hm. It's kind of cold out here daddy.

Let me explore this strange substance.

OH MAN MY HANDS ARE FREEZING! I HATE SNOW!

Blow some bubbles daddy!

Stop! You're embarrassing me mom!

This week we waited for the sun to come out to take baby boy out in the snow. I was prepared with mittens this time to protect tiny hands from the cold. The best part was our friends, Josh and Kristen, came over with their sled! M got to sled down the hill in our neighborhood, but I still don't think he is sold on snow. It must be because his ancestral homeland is in the Caribbean.

Bottom of the hill. Covered in ice cause daddy stopped with his shoes and sprayed snow everywhere!

Sledding with mommy.

Still doesn't look like he's having any fun.

Stop taking my picture and take me inside where its warm!
Better yet, take me back to St. Kitts and lets go to the beach. 

Snow days are fun, but I've had enough of them for this year. I'm ready for spring and some warm weather!
