Snow

It has been snowing like crazy the past week. Noah wanted to go right outside and eat the snow.


I am hating the winter, cold, and snow. But it does have one redeeming quality, hot chocolate. I love the stuff.


The boys didn't have any winter stuff going into this snow season. They have never wanted to play in the snow before. But on the morning of our first storm they insisted on going out with dad to shovel. I scrambled to find some suitable snow gear. I guess it wasn't very good because they only lasted about 10 minutes and haven't wanted to go back out. So yesterday we spent the whole morning going from store to store finding snow clothes. We were successful minus gloves - I couldn't find any snow gloves. Holy moly snow clothes are expensive - and I went to kid-to-kid and the DI - wow, they better live outside. They went out today for a few minutes (their hands got cold fast) and Brock said, "I love my snow boots, it makes it so much better."


On a side not I am potty training Noah today. I don't have enough data to declare if it is going good or bad. But it does make for some long days stuck in the house and the other kids bring put on the back burner. Megan and Brock are already like, "mom, do you remember us?" and it is only day one. Any one wanting to take Brock for a play date? - he would really appreciate it!

A few more shots of Megan.


After about 3 weeks of crawling backwards and scooting all over the house she is now officially crawling. It is so cute and I am actually loving it. She is a climber too. She was already going up stairs before she was crawling - and she tries to pull herself up to anything. She has two bottom teeth. And her favorite person in the whole world is her daddy. She loves him.
