Let it SNOW!!

This isn't actually the first snow of the season, but it is definitely the first snow worth playing in. So we all got bundled up and went outside. Lizzie's coveralls and coat are still way to big for her as you can see..

Here she is lying on the floor completely unable to move, and not at all happy about it. So, I had to improvise. I took out the liner of her coat and put it over her fleece jacket. I left the snow bib on and closed off the foot holes with rubber bands so snow couldn't get in.

She was toasty warm, but still couldn't move very well. She didn't really have that much fun...at all!! She just started getting mad after a while. In fact she is still mad at me 2 hours later. I took her inside and took all her snow clothes off and gave her a snack. She was okay but would have these random outbursts. "I am so mad at you Mom. How could you be so mean to me?"Jacob on the other hand had a great time. This is the first year he's really appreciated the snow. In the past he's pretty much had the same response as Lizzie. He sure liked it this year though. He kept saying, "cold, cold" every time he picked some up.He originally had mittens on, but they kept falling off. He was really cold after that. We are gonna have to find some better ones before we take him out again.

I managed to get him to stop playing long enough to snap a quick picture with me. I tried to take a couple more but he wasn't having it. He really wanted to get back to playing. He coulda stayed out a lot longer but Lizzie had had enough and was not gonna spend another second out there. So I had to drag him back inside. It's times like this that I really wish I had a fenced in back yard.
