First Snow Day Jan 19, 09

I woke up this afternoon to a wonderful suprise. SNOW!!! Jason woke me up at 3 pm, like I asked him to, and I was very reluctant to get out of bed. Night shift does a number on your sleep pattern. AJ ran up and kissed me "good morning/afternoon" and I finally wriggled my way out of the covers. It was beautiful. Not much snow but it's about an inch. Enough to cover the ground and make things look beautiful. We all dressed up in our snow clothes and out we went. Poor AJ looks like the Michellin Man!! I dressed AJ up in the same snow suit when we had snow last year. It was so big on him then, if he fell over I had to grab the back of it to pull him up! LOL. This year it fits much better. He just looked so cute!!! Took him a minute to get used to the snow/cold but once he figured it out, it was ON!

AJ making his first Snow Angel:


Daddy taught him how to make a snow ball. After that, it was ON!!! We threw snowballs the entire time we were outside. We even snuck up on daddy while he was shoveling the sidewalk to bombard him with snowballs. In order for me to get AJ back inside I had to tell him "Two more snowballs then we're done!" After our last two snowballs, he ran back, threw one more at daddy then said "OK mommy, all done" It as GREAT!!!


I love this picture.


AJ left these tracks with his boots! He couldn't even lift his feet up all the way out of the snow and it was only an ince deep! I go a wee bit overboard on keeping him warm. I need to do something about the gloves though. Maybe tuck his shirt into them next time. These snow gloves kept his hands warm but snow got on his wrists.


AJ loving life!! Even after we went inside, he kept running over and flipping the blinds up to make sure the snow was still there. Can't wait until we get enough to make a snowman!


AJ went down the slide. It had a little bit of ice under the snow. AJ flew down the slide. Jason even tried it. I thought he was going to break himself the way he hit the ground! It was great.


AJ and daddy in full attack mode!


My little snow angel waiting for his hot/warm chocolate. He liked that. I had to convince him the Hot Chocolate wasn't hot, but once I convinced him I wasn't going to scorch his taste buds he finally tried it. "I like it" was his response.


He was worn out after all this. I was upstairs doing my exercises when Jason came up and told me AJ had fallen asleep. When I came downstairs, I found AJ sitting on the couch in a sitting position, sound asleep. It was precious.

Hopefully I'll get the holiday pics up here soon. I'm running out of room on the camera!!
