Snow Baby

I probably ought to be doing these updates in order, but I'm in love with the pictures I took this afternoon of the snow and in the snow!  We had church cancelled, so we slept in as long as Audrey would allow us (lately that's been until about 10 AM, but today it was 9 AM).  We read scriptures then watched Monsters University together.  We watched Monsters, Inc. last night, and Audrey loved the colors on the TV.  We then went outside to shovel/play/walk around, took showers and napped, ate a crock pot roast (YUM!) and I am now excitedly awaiting Downton Abbey at 9:00 tonight!

Oh yeah, and NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!  Hurray!

Poor Audrey could barely move any of her limbs in her snowsuit!  It was just like on A Christmas Story!

 Although it fit perfectly, poor Audrey could barely move in her snowsuit and she gets hot so easily, so after I dressed her I handed her outside to Kyle who was already shoveling so I could dress in my coat and boots.  Audrey liked the snowsuit when I was putting her in it, and every time I'd tuck an arm or a leg in, she'd give me a little giggle.  However, she quickly discovered that it was impossible for her to lift her fist to her mouth to suck on her hand, so she immediately disliked being in the snowsuit.

I have to admit, I think the other part that Audrey really disliked was having a scarf over her mouth.  I gave her one of Kyle's less pill-y and fuzzy ones, because I knew she'd just suck on it.  She got very upset with having a scarf cover her face, but it made for some good pictures!  The blurs are the snowflakes :)

I love the wet drops on Audrey's eyelashes!

I took Audrey around to show her the trees with all the snow on them, when suddenly we were attacked by snow!  Kyle took advantage of my turned back and lobbed two snowballs at us!

I wanted to get a good picture of Audrey in the snow, and although she can hold her head up by herself, pretty much all she could do in the suit was this:

Snow is getting on her face and she HATES IT.

I'm so glad I got this picture!

We investigated how deep the snow was in the front, too.  At this point, we'd been outside only about 10 minutes, but Audrey cried through most of it, so her tears are starting to get cold.

Pouty girl

Our snow!

It doesn't look as bad in the picture, but visibility down Bethel was nil.

After we went in, Kyle made a snowman for our front yard.

Thrilled to be back inside!

As soon as I took both arms out of the snowsuit, the hands went straight to the mouth.

 I think everyone is enjoying the snow and is glad for our snow day tomorrow.  This also includes...

Stay safe and warm!  Don't go anywhere unless you have to!
