Snow

Today we had our first "playable" snowfall for the winter. Alyssa begged to go out and play in it this morning. So I let her go out back while Aiden and I stayed warm inside and watched. We had to miss church this morning because Alyssa had the stomach flu yesterday and we were waiting out our contagious period. So it was nice to get her out of the house to run around. I think she would stay out there forever, but I made her come in after about 25 minutes. I didn't put her snow pants on and she had on her rain boots because we haven't bought snow boots yet this year (although I am thinking with the right socks the rain boots may do the trick) and I was afraid she was getting cold. She literally ran circles around the yard and examined her footprints. She also went around and "dusted" the snow off of her house and swing set.

She did make sure Aiden was having fun by throwing snowballs at him!

And of course she brought some snow in for Aiden to see, I mean eat...

but he wanted nothing to do with that...

...so she grabbed a bowl and spoon and helped herself. For anyone wondering, our dog has his own separate potty area and is not even allowed in the back yard where the kids play. So the snow was "clean"!

So there is the first snow fun, I personally love the snow. From the inside that is :) Daddy is more the outside cold weather playmate!! The sled is waiting for just a little more...
