Ready or not, here comes winter! Although the first official day of winter isn't for another month, mother nature has other plans. However, I'm all about some snow, so you won't find me complaining (until about March...then I'm DONE with snow and beyond ready for sunshine and warmth).
We woke up here in southern Indiana to about 5 inches of beautiful, powdery blankets of snow. I found this out not because of the blinding whiteness peaking through my blinds, but by Christian coming into my room screaming that it's Christmas time. How confusing for a 3-year-old mind when I tell him it's not even close to Christmas time (in toddler time...in adult time, Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye)!
This then followed with staring out of the window and asking 37 times if we could play in the snow. I tried to time our snow play during Gavin's naptime, because I knew baby G wasn't going to love army crawling through snow that was deeper than him (thanks to the snow drifts). I snapped a couple of pictures, laid Gavin down for his nap, and then Christian and I braved the freezing cold temps for some snow fun.
(Gavin was NOT happy about his snowsuit. He could care less about the snow, but that suit? Life ruiner.)
We drew pictures in the snow, attempted a snow angel (and failed miserably because he didn't like snow on his neck) and then once our fingers and cheeks were frozen icicles, came inside for hot chocolate and cookies by the fireplace.
It was so much fun making memories...and I really enjoyed spending time with just me and Christian. Hopefully he remembers how much fun snow can be, and that since there's not a darned thing you can do about it (except move states), to try to enjoy it and all the beauty that comes with it. Hopefully everyone at least somewhat enjoyed our first real snow...and I'm sure it will be far from our last...I have a feeling we're in for a long and snowy winter.
Thanks, Disney...I'm totally blaming Elsa. Stay warm, my friends!
