Micah wanted to play football or golf in the snow, we opted for football

Trying to build a snow castle
The kids were anxious to get outside this morning and play in the snow, I however would rather be at the beach and hate going out in the snow. Which might explain why we rarely build snowmen instead we get out shovels and pails and make snow castles, I guess it reminds me of sand castles at the beach?
This morning I dug out all the snow gear which took a while, Elijah was out the door first, which explains why I have no pictures of him..he was already inside by the time I was ready to go out.
I wanted to take Adah out for the first time in the snow..but after taking an hour to get everyone ready she was screaming, so she got a nap instead:) Maybe later she'll go out, when Matt gets home, he does much better with this weather than I do.
It took forever to get them ready and even longer to clean up after they came inside.
Took a while to find Micah's boots, but they didn't fit so he went out in his shoes..that was fun..his feet were freezing after about 15 minutes.
I did get half the driveway dug out with the snow blower though it didn't stay clear long as it's snowed a bit since then.
The few things I like about the snow..it's an excuse to stay home...my kids love it which makes me happy...I like taking pictures of the kids playing in it although I try to take the picts from the doorways instead of going out in it.
I know most of it sounds like complaining..and well it kinda is..and I know it's still winter so I should accept that it will snow but I am so ready for spring.

I feel the same way about snow. Babies are a great excuse for staying inside.
