This morning, we woke to multiple inches of wet, heavy (heart attack causing) snow on the ground. The jury is still out as to the amount, roughly 5 is our guess.
Sidney jumped for joy, having no idea what she was getting so excited for. She screamed for us to come to the window, she was mesmerized that the rocks were "all gone" in the rock beds so we spent 20 minutes bundling up. And the next hour outside re-bundling and replacing mittens and boots.
Then Sidney stood in the garage, refusing to go any further. It was cold, can you blame her!
Regan ran straight out the door into the beautiful white snow, begging me to help her build a snow man. Soon, we heard a loud crack from across the street, and a tree came tumbling to the ground from the weight of snow. I decided to quickly wrap up the snowman project under our tree and opted out of a picture...just in case.
It was a family ordeal to shovel the driveway for the first time, much too heavy for our baby snow thrower. I have a hunch the new slippery slope is going to cause a few falls and "stuck" cars this winter.
And then it was onto the back yard and some fun for the girls :) Regan went down the slide and cleared all the snow off with her snow pants; and boy did she laugh at how fun that was!
Not to fret, Sidney quickly had fun too and didn't spend the morning in the garage. Once she figured out how to walk in the depths of the snow, she laughed along with her big sister.
I really am trying to love this white stuff. It's just a bit too early for me. I asked Regan if she had fun this morning and her response was "yea!, but the snow is cold".
