There's No Day Like a SNOW DAY!!

Who am I kidding. When you don't have kids in school, any day you get flurries is a snow day. :-) The last couple of weeks have been freezing. Literally freezing! Last week we had a day where the high was -3! Talk about nippy! So even though we have had snow, it hasn't been worth the risk of frostbite to get out and play in it...until yesterday. :-)

It's been a dry winter here. I heard on the news last night that we are well below average when it comes to cumulative snow. Our family and friends in Wichita and Newton got almost 18" dumped on them whereas we only got about 3". And of course, we were the ones that moved to CO because we love snow. :-)

Oh well! Once the temperatures hit around 30, we bundled up and made the most of our 3". Braxton still has a love/hate relationship with snow so I tried not to overdo it with him. He seemed to enjoy it until I dumped him over in the sled. But after the dump Justin gave him in the sled (which apparently had snow down Braxton's shirt), he didn't seem too traumatized. :-)

His expression was so funny when he saw the slide. It was like he was thinking "ummm...excuse me! What happened to my slide??"

Clapping for sled rides!

Nothing will keep this kid off the playground. He couldn't understand why I wouldn't let him go all the way up, but it was too slippery and I wasn't going to take a chance since I don't have prime catching abilities.

Our little blessing!
