First Snow

In the afternoon, while we were at work and the kids at daycare, the snow started to fall.  When picking up the kids at daycare they were both in a bit of a grumpy mood.  And I was late getting to daycare because of an accident on the snowy roads.  But as soon as they both got outside and saw the snow on the ground and it falling from the sky, they were taken to another world... one where they weren't so upset any more.  They were mesmerized by the fluffy white snow.  For Magnus, though, that happy world ended rather quickly when he realized playing in the snow gets his pants wet and cold!  Nonetheless we made it home without too much drama, and after dinner we ventured out to play in the snow!

Let's go play in the snow!

Monster Trucks like the snow too

 Magnus enjoyed making tracks through the snow

He was a bit surprised by the lumps of snow that fell from the trees onto his head. Maliah on the other hand, took it all in stride, and loved every minute of it... and repeated 'burr' back to me!  Towards the end though, she hesitated when about to pick up another pile of snow.  She was probably saying 'burr,' to herself!

That snow makes my hand cold! BuURRR!

Magnus had seen snow twice before, at 10-months and just before turning 2, both while visiting his Hummel Grandparents in Missouri over Christmas.  This was Maliah's first experience with snow!  Both of them were surprised how cold the snow makes you.  My poor little Florida babies will have a long winter full of lessons about being cold.  We had a great time frolicking and making tracks in the snow.  But in the end Magnus came in crying because his hands were cold.  He was quickly stripped down to be thrown into the shower.  At which, he promptly belted out a few cords of 'here comes a naked boy,' and all was well again.
