first snow day


It snowed while we were here in St. Louis (yippee!)...well actually it's sleet and some freezing rain on top. Even though this was the boys first experience with snow they seemed to know exactly what to do...and the cold didn't even seem to bother these tropical weather boys (or this tropical weather girl). Jude had to think it over first before he really got into the snow thing. Then he realized that snow tastes really good.
Ethan figured out that frozen sleet was way fun because you didn't even have to use a sled.
And the best part of the snow was hanging out with the cousins who, since the moment we arrived, have been inseparable.

And to top off their first snow experience, they made up their own game of "throw chunks of ice into the street". Apparently it was the best game ever...or at least a close second to "putting pieces of ice on top of their heads to look like different animals"...Jude was really amused.

That's so awesome that your boys got to experience some real snow! And if I remember my childhood correctly, snow and grandma's house with my cousins was always the BEST snow ever.
