i really hate the snow. even more now as a parent than before without kids. snow makes things so much more difficult with kids. so much more messy. the house constantly has bits of salt on the rugs, and is always wet from snowy shoes and boots. getting kids dressed just to go outside to the car is a major pain. and when your kid starts walking and constantly decides to take the snowiest path possible, there's another pain.
anyway. this his hayden's blog, not mine.
hayden loves snow. he was so excited to hear that we could go outside to play in it for a bit while talan was taking his nap. once i put talan down we started the long process of getting dressed up. i realized the the snowpants i had for hayden which he never wore last year, were a size 3t, not a 4t like i was counting on them being. they fit ok so it was no big deal. mittens or gloves are another issue. the are always falling off or the sleeve of his jacket is riding up. but again, i'm complaining.
we got all dressed up and headed outside. i gave hayden a new red shovel so he immediately started digging in the snow and throwing it over his shoulder.
i decided to be a good mom and help him make a snowman, unfortunately, the snow was not packing snow at all. later though, hayden found some chunks of ice that he stacked on top of each other to make a mini snowman. we even had baby carrots that we were able to use. the prefect size for this miniature snowman.
i also tried digging a little fort, but that didn't work very well either. after putting his gloves back on about 20 times i decided it was time to head in. we had been out there for close to an hour i'd say.
here are some pictures from our "fun" time:
it's not so much the digging part he loves:
as it is the throwing part:
"it's getting deeper!":

we had to relocated and fix it a bit as he built it right where cars like to park:
i think this is a penguin snowman:
