Last week, Feb. 24th, we woke up to lots of snow. It started out to be about 6 inches. It has snowed all Wednesday night. One thing I love about when it snows here, it’s actually bright outside. It seems like some of the only times the sun shines in the winter is if it has snowed. Then, the sun reflects off the snow, and makes it bright outside. I love it. I was actually a good mommy this week, and took the kids out into the snow.

Jameson has never really played in the snow. I know, crazy huh? Well, last winter it didn’t snow here, and the winter before, he was barely 1. I wasn’t going to bundle a 1 year old up to play in the snow. So, we got everyone bundled, and headed outside. Apparently, the bamboo out back doesn’t do so well with the snow. It totally bent them over to where they were covering the patio. I had to shake all the snow off, and they sprang back up in the air.

We built a snowman… the snow was perfect for it. We jumped on the trampoline. Ella sat in the grass, where the snow barely touched it. The trees above it sheltered it from the storm. She was not a fan of not being able to move.

My attempt at a picture with the kids. Proof it was me who was out in the snow.

Kevin was actually working from home on this snowy day, and Jameson asked if he would come outside and build a snowmom. Since I built him a snowman, he thought there needed to be a snowmom to go along with him. Thanks for thinking of me, kid.

After Ella and I had gone inside, Jameson decided to try and eat the snow. He told me it was so good.

Side note: Kevin actually did experiments with Jameson a few days before it snowed. He was showing him how the water in his cup turns to ice when it gets cold, and back to water when it warms up. The snow came at a perfect time to go along with our experiments.

By the way, our snowman still has now spouse. Kevin never did make it out that day to help Jameson with a snowmom. So next time, it’s all him.
