Snow fun!

Today was a no school day so the boys and I got an extra day to have fun! I decided since it was in the mid 20s that would be warm enough to venture outside with the both the boys and the dog. Macalan was SO excited when I got out all his snow gear. Sadly, we haven't been out to play in the snow at all this winter.

It only took about 20 minutes to get them both dressed, which included the multiple times I had to put Sutton's boots back on. We never got around to getting him boots that actually fit so the ones he wore were about 4 sizes to big! Hopefully they'll fit by this time next year.

When we finally got outside Macalan had fun throwing snow in the air for Walter to catch and attempting to make a snow angel. We also tried to go for a walk with both of them in the sled and the dog on the leash, but that was just disaster! If any of our neighbors were watching I'm sure they were laughing. Anytime I hit a bump one or both of the boys would practically fall out of the sled, Walter was tangling himself in the leash over and over, and then Mac decided to get out leaving Sutton with no choice but to lay down in the sled since he couldn't sit very well in all his snow gear. We called it quits by the time we got to the next driveway down from our house and headed back to just play in the yard. At one point Macalan was laughing really loud and he said, "What is that sound?" I thought he was talking about the birds, but then he said, "Who's screaming?!" He was actually talking about his own echo. That was tough to try to explain!

Hopefully we'll have more chances to get outside and have fun in the snow. Although I am ready for winter to be over!
