Snow Day

Today we woke up to SNOW!! By the time we got around to shoveling there was 12 inches to shovel! We put Neelah down for a nap and bundled Finn up.
The funny thing is that every time it has snowed this winter, Finn will play for about 20 min and then want to go back inside. He has never been a huge snow-playing kid. Today he was out there for over an hour and loving every minute of it! You can't tell by this picture, can you?
Finn climbed the mountian! It took him a while but he never gave up.


This is mom's attempt at teaching Finn how to make snowangels. Finn didn't want to lay down in the snow and then when he tried to get up, he couldn't. When Mom and I were done shoveling and were too cold to just stay outside, we told Finn it was time to go in. He shocked us by saying he wanted to stay outside and play some more!

So when we finally convinced him to come inside, we were in the garage taking off all our snowy clothes. That was when Finn started crying and telling us that "it is freezin' out here! why are you taking my pants off???!!!" When we got his pants off and went into the house to get dry clothes, I felt his underwear and it was wet too so we got a dry pair. His poor bum was beet red from sitting in the snow. The kicker is that he didn't complain until we started taking his clothes OFF! I love Finn!

That is so fun! I miss that amount of snow. Doesn't happen too often anymore. I'm so glad that Finn is beginning to love the snow more. And I know you love dealing with the wet clothes afterwards.
