Snow, Snow, Snow

On Monday we were raking and jumping in the leaves wearing shorts. We broke a heat record that day when we hit 79 degrees.  On Wednesday morning we had 8 inches of snow by 9am.  That's also how we roll in Colorado.  When I got Caden out of bed that morning and told him it was snowing he immediately said, "Make no-man."  Well, we didn't get to make a 'no-man' because the snow was too light and fluffy, but we did bundle him up and let him play outside with Daddy.  I stayed inside and  took these pictures from the comfort and warmth of the back door. 

I didn't even prompt him to put his head back to catch snowflakes.  I guess these things just come naturally to Colorado boys!

This pictures was taken at around 9am.  We had about 8 inches on our deck and ended up getting about 3-4 more throughout the day.

Belle got to play outside too.  She loves to catch snowballs as much as Caden likes to throw them!

Time elapsed: 30 min!  He would have stayed out longer, but his cheeks were freezing and he was starting to get frustrated that he couldn't walk as well in his snow boots.  We spent the rest of the morning explaining over and over why he couldn't go back outside.  All I could think about was how glad I was that he was still in diapers.  As soon as I bundled him all up I'm sure he would have had to go potty.  It's the first time I've ever been happy he's not potty trained yet!

My boys had a fantastic first snow day!
