It finally hit... the blizzard of 2011. And of course by blizzard I mean it snowed... maybe an inch... and was mostly melted by that evening. But it was fun for the kids!!
After spending about an hour getting them dressed, we ventured out. Carinna was so excited but not so sure she wanted to walk in it or what to do with it.
Caden on the other hand had an agenda. That morning when I showed him it was snowing he said "Mom, I'm going to get my shoes on!" I then explained that it was way too early and that we would go out later. So then he said "Ok. But mom, first I am going to make a snowball and throw it at you. Then we can build a snowman." So. needless to say he went straight to the snowball making once we ventured out.
Carinna, taking his lead, started to grab a hand full of snow... then lost her balance and fell face first into it! This is her imprint... face to the left, arms at top and bottom. It was a real face plant! It went up her nose, into her mouth and covered her eyes... poor baby... she was mad.
She rallied pretty quickly! What a trooper! Then continued to look to her big brother for what to do next.
Her gigantic snowball! She wouldn't throw them at people, she just handed them from one person to the next!
He, on the other hand, was all about throwing! He is a boy after all!
Carinna only lasted about 20 minutes then we went in to have a snack (donuts! shhhh, don't tell). The dad and boy tried their best to build a snowman, but it just wasn't working! They took a walk around the block then came in for a nice hot lunch! It was a fun day!
