First Day of the Big Snow

Here is our first day at home of the Big Snow of '09... hoping by giving it that title then it will be the worst we get all year! Anyway, myself not being a big "cold" air person I wasn't too keen on heading out in it and Shawn was working in his home office. So we wore away the morning playing here in our pj's.


I broke out a toy that I had been saving. Play Foam.... This has to be better then that Moon Sand. Oh that stuff was messy! Granted the kids loved it and it doesn't dry out like Play-Doh. But maybe this is better. So here we go... Lexi is trying to make a snowman. Now this is nicer then snow! It is warm in here versus out there!

Nicolas shows off the snowman head he made.

Here is one of our family of Foammen!

Ahhh... now here we go! Daddy wanted to clean the driveway off before grandpa came over to watch the kids for our Fox night at Legally Blonde. Lexi and Nicolas get bundled in their snowsuits. I love snowsuits! Why didn't we have those as kids? I mean, warmer, they stay dry... no wet jeans and layers to strip off. They are amazing!!! Shall I pull up last months photos of Lexi crying when her hands stung from the cold wet snow soaking into the knit gloves. Not this time! NO knit anything this time!

Ummm.... Nicolas is not plotting how to correctly manuever this shovel to knock his unsuspecting sister down into the snow. Really! See the next picture... they are such a team (smile).

Nicolas and Lexi help daddy with that last bit of snow ... oh... it was worth it, really! I know it snowed another 4+ inches after they did this but it had to be easier to clean the next day, right?
