Fun in the Snow! *updated*

*Updated*

I found some more pictures :) Jacob doesn't have any snow stuff, so I just left his foot-y pj's on, put wind pants over them, and put a pair of Anna's tennis shoes on him! He didn't care, as long as he got to go outside! He was very helpful in putting his hat, coat, and gloves on...he knew he was finally going outside!

Well, I bundled them up and let them have a blast in the snow (thanks for reminding me what's important Papa;))! Jacob LOVED it. I'm working on getting the video clips together. They had a lot of fun and were NOT HAPPY to be taken inside after over an hour of playing outside! It really wasn't all that cold out, either. The snow is very wet, so it was perfect for snowman-building! Anna & I decided Papa needs to come visit and help us make a really good snowman! :)

Jacob didn't actually help much with the snowman, but he thought it was pretty cool! (He's waving to a car driving by.)
Jacob: Whoops...sister, I might have broken his arm...
Anna: Oh Jacob!

This is her face right after she throws a snowball at you! :)

He is in heaven! He didn't care about being wet and cold. He had so much fun and I literally had to drag him, kicking and screaming, into the house!

That's all for now...a video soon to follow :)

CRAZY Spring Storm!

Oh. My. Goodness. This is one crazy storm! I thought maybe they'd "over forcasted" this storm because by 11am, there was hardly any snow on the ground. Well, an hour later it hit hard! I don't know if it's still snowing, but it's certainly still blowing hard. We're in a blizzard warning! We've probably got close to 10" on the ground. So, needless to say we stayed inside (and in our jammies!) all day and probably will all weekend!

A bit of attitude from the J-man! Goodness!!

Mama, do NOT interrupt my relaxing lunch time with your picture taking!

Anna decided to join in on the lounging...except it wasn't quite as easy for her to get her long legs up there! haha

This was yesterday. He loves his computer :)

She wore her fancy dress, Cinderella shoes, and tiara all day yesterday. And she carried her camera around taking pictures. Actually, Jacob would pick it up, hand it to her, and look at her smiling, waiting for his picture to be taken!!

I turn my back for 2 seconds and this is what he does!!! I guess he wanted to check out the paychecks and make sure everything added up?! :)

During her rummaging, she found her BIG puzzle. I put the outside together and she put all the middle pieces in. She did really good and was very proud of herself!

And now the snow storm pictures!

This was at around 11:30 am. (Notice the flower pot to the left of the sidewalk)



This is how hard it's been blowing...the snow was piled up clear to the front door! It never gets more than a foot, at the most, onto the porch. (this was around 4pm)

This is around 5pm.

See the lump? That's the flower pot in the first picture.



Here's a video...I thought maybe you'd be able to see how hard it was snowing and blowing but I don't think it worked. And while I cracked open the door, Jacob tried to sneak out! He's been desperate all day to get outside!!
