First Big Snow!

This weekend we had our first big snowfall of the season!  It's Edith first time really playing in it.  Eddie didn't have much experience since last year was pretty mild and lacking with snow (not that I am complaining about that one!!!)  Anyhow - it snowed all day long on Sunday.  We promised the kids after naptime they could play outside.  Edith woke up first and she really wanted to go out. Uncas went out to shovel and she kept saying "out, out!" So I bundled her up and out she went.

 She wasn't too sure at first, but she stayed outside for at least 30 minutes.  We got the kids new sleds, so Uncas pulled her around for a little bit.

Eddie woke up shortly after Edith went outside, so I went in and got him all bundled up! He has been super excited to play in the snow.  In October he told me he was ready for it to snow. Inside while he was getting ready, he saw that Edith was playing with his blue shovel.  That upset him, but I assured him that she would let him have it when he got outside. Sure enough - she had long discarded it when we got out there.  He got a little ride from Daddy in his new sled, but he was much more interested in shoveling and moving snow around.  Uncas and Eddie built a snowman (unfortunately I went inside before it was finished, so no pictures). Eddie called himself Snowplow Eddie.  He loved playing in the snow!

While Uncas and Eddie were busy building, I pulled Edith around the yard and street in her sled. Finally she was ready to go in and have a snack!

The guys stayed out for awhile longer. I can see us spending lots of time playing outside in the snow this winter!
