We didn’t get much, but we finally got a little snow and Charlie finally got to wear his snow pants! He loved it! All boy! He helped shovel the whole time Chad was shoveling! And cried when they were done, so then Chad pulled him around in the sled for a while, and he even got in a quick swing on the playset.
Note: the wall behind him that I “took out” last week with our truck.
Yesterday, since we had a short-thaw, we decided to scrape the packed down snow from our driveway. Maria did not want to go outside, but once we had her out, then it was tough to get her back in! She was sad when I took her shovel away, but we were able to lure her in with the promise of vacuuming! She loves it when we vacuum!!
We woke up to snow this morning! Not a lot, but enough that the driveway needed to be scraped off. After breakfast, Maria and I headed out to check out the situation.
I got out both of our shovels and we went to work. Maria figured it out pretty quickly, but she learned if she leaned into it too much, she’d end up face down on the driveway! But she was not about to give up and go inside! After the driveway was cleared (and she’d taken 3 falls on her face) I had to bribe her with Elmo on TV to get her back inside! Of course the title of this post, refers to the song we sang outside the whole time we were shoveling – (to the tune of Jingle Bells, as heard on Elmo’s World) Snow, Snow, Snoowww. Snow, Snow, Snoww. Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snooowww.
We may be in for some winter fun this year!!
