Snow Day!

Yesterday was our first big snow of the year. We woke up Saturday morning to about 8" of fresh snow that came through overnight. I don't like winter, and I don't like the snow. But, if it's going to snow, I would definitely prefer it on a weekend where I don't have anywhere to go. We slept in a little (as much as you can sleep in with a 13 month old!) which was nice. After breakfast, my husband went out to shovel while R and I hung out. Then we took R out to play in the snow for the first time! Getting him all bundled up was certainly an ordeal. With his snowsuit on he couldn't really sit up so he basically just layed on the floor looking up at us. We put him on his sled and took him outside and he immediately loved it! He's a complete daredevil and loved going over bumps and sliding downhill! We took him up and down the block and around a few streets in our development, and he laughed and smiled the whole time. Seeing him have fun in the snow made it a little easier to deal with. Unfortunately it sounds like there's an even bigger storm coming through Monday into Tuesday...not sure we're ready for more, but I guess winter is making up for the lack of snow so far. Times like this I wish we lived somewhere like San Diego!
