Scarves, Hats & Mittens......OH MY!

At some point yesterday between blocks, stories and diapers it happened.......our first snow flurries of the season! A first snow for Tyler! Well, technically yes, he did observe snow last February and even into March of last year, but as an infant, his participation was limited to being bundled into a cozy snowsuit, covered in a blanket and being dashed to & fro in our arms during errand time! He was always curious about it but gosh, there were SO MANY new things for him to absorb, I'm sure a snow covered landscape was just one item more in a giant list of changes!

He was just enthralled with it all, so naturally we grabbed the first things handy (yes, camera too!) and dashed outside to check it all out! His reaction? Pure bliss........course it would have been nice if the boots we had purchased last month actually fit :( and we need a few more winter worthy items to complete the look......but....it was just flurries after all and we will be better prepared next time! Tricky mild November lulled us into complacency! :)

And today? We awoke to a light dusting much to Lauren and Tyler's everlasting glee! We even pulled Tyler in his new baby sled ( blankets & all!) walking to school. Poor Lauren is petrified its all going to melt away before she is home again.....and it just might! But more will come and in the meantime I thought I'd share a slice of Tyler's first official romp in the flurries......with a surprise thrown in at the end! Let it snow.....let it snow.....let it snow......


Ummm...remember we just threw stuff on to race outside before the flurries stopped! LOL He loved it all! AND you don't want to know what I was wearing! Ha!

Joyful running.........

Someone else wanted to come out and play too. Don't worry, she got to come & play also! And she has a winter coat too.....giggle...pics to come later!

Hey, what is this white stuff anyways??

Is this a prank Mama or the real deal? :) Well, it was pretty slim pickings....very light flurries to say the least! LOL

Last year this is as close to snow as Tyler was able to get. Oh, my sweet baby boy......

And because NO ONE loves snow more than Lauren, a couple of her from last year! OH, she still needed her 2 front teeth for Christmas!

Wishing you all a glorious weekend!!
