Snow Days

I had to work both Thursday and Friday, but was able to come home early Friday and play with the family in the snow.  Of course we took lots of pictures...

The backyard...

and the front...

We bundled Charlotte up, and she was so good the entire time we were out there.  She just happily watched as we played...

Hunter was really impressed with the snow.  Look how deep it is!  His shoes, socks and pants got soaked...

I showed him how to make snow balls and encouraged him to throw them away from mommy and daddy...but I couldn't resist throwing one at James, so inevitably we ended up in a snowball fight...which inevitably ended in tears from our little toddler.  He recovered pretty quickly though:)

Hunter and James made this snowman on Thursday, and his head fell off by Friday afternoon.  As you can see, H was a little disturbed by this...

He got over it once he found the carrot nose, though...
Of course he tried to eat it.

Since our snowman was headless, James and H got to work building a new one...

And Char still sat sweetly watching...

Since 1) we live in Texas and 2) my feelings toward skiing can be summed up with the word torturous, we don't have "snow" gloves, so Hunter got annoyed with wearing wet pieces of cloth on his hands pretty quickly.  It was a struggle to keep them on him...

I eventually gave up and figured, since his little hands and feet were already soaked, we might as well let him dive in head first.  So we (and of course by we, I mean James and Hunter) tried snow angels...
As you can see, he wasn't feeling it, so James gave him a lesson, and Hunter quickly followed his lead...

The snow was magical.  It made me want to move to a place with a real winter.  Almost.

Great snow pics!! It still doesnt make me want to move to a place with long, snowy winters. I'm still looking forward to flip-flop weather soon!
