Snow Day

I was the first one to scoff at the forecast last week when they were calling for 3-5 inches of snow Sunday night.  I mean, it is November, after all.  But I was wrong.  And we got every bit of 5 inches.  It was really pretty coming down in big fluffy flakes, but it has been bitterly cold.  Almost too cold to really get out and play in it, especially with the wind blowing the way it was.

We had a rare day at home with Eric on Monday and bundled up the kids (including one extremely crabby Ben), and headed outside for some play time in the snow.

(which is way harder than it looks)

Ben has been revisiting his bad sleeping habits, and that has left him so grouchy and tired all day...

plus snow.  It gets in your gloves and in your boots, and that makes a sensitive 2 year old so mad!

(but look at those big brown eyes)

loved all those snow-covered branches

(I really wanted to try a front flip, but chickened out.)

I really love winter and snow, and this weather always makes me miss Boston a lot.  But winter and car seats are enough to make me want to pull my hair out.  I am definitely looking forward to a little bit of a warm up this weekend!  Besides, it is way too early in the winter to have two stir-crazy kids!
