Snow Finally!

We had our first heavy snow today (which is unusual being that it's already the middle of January) so the kids had a fun time playing in our big backyard. It didn't last very long though as little fingers started removing their gloves to touch the snow which then slowly turned to hand freeze, plus the "falling and getting back up" syndrome added more wet and cold to their moods after the first 20 minutes outside. It took about half an hour just to get them all dressed up in their winter suits, gloves, scarves, hats, boots, etc. and before you knew it, we were back inside getting them all out of their heavy winter gear. But I can't compare sunny, warm days to the cold, snowy ones when taking little kids outside as they have more to tread, more body gear to wear(which makes balance and stability harder) and they have to fight harder to keep warm. Our kids love the outdoors though, and no matter how short a time you have them out there, they're happy. JD did great with keeping the kids busy with snowballs, air swinging, etc. In the end, though I myself prefer to stay indoors when it's snowing, was glad I took them out.
