Time to buy new snow pants?

We got our first snowfall of the year on October 25. Not much, but enough to play in for a bit. I pulled out Sara's old snow clothes that she has worn for the past two winters. They are size 18-months. Sara will be 4 in December. ... What do you think; will they last another year?!

Here's a fun video of Sara playing in the snow.



Then a few weeks later we got more snow, and this time it was over a foot deep!

She seems to be doing just fine in those too-small snow clothes! But I suppose we should break down and buy some new ones.

That's all! :)

How I spent my morning

We woke up to snow yesterday morning, and Sara knew just what we should do with it.

Can you tell who our snowmen are supposed to be?

We only got about a half-inch of snow, but it was perfect for rolling snowmen bodies, aka it was wet snow instead of powder so it stuck to itself easily.

 

Sara was about the same height as the larger two snow people.

But hers was a lot smaller. Quite the resemblance, don't you think?!

She was not cooperating for the photo above. But she sure was excited in the one below!

 Hooray for snow!

p.s. All the snow has since melted and only remains of our snowmen are left. The sun warmed up in the afternoon and Rob's snowman was the first to fall over. Mine leaned so far back that it looked like she was trying to do the limbo, and then eventually fell. The snow around the rocks for Sara's eyes melted so she now has a very droopy face, but her snowman is the only one still standing. For now anyway.

November

...and ended looking like this:

 

SNOW!

Snow Day

I've been waiting and waiting for some fresh snow so we could take Sara out in it to play. Well yesterday was the day! Sara's first snow day finally arrived!! For some reason we haven't taken her out in the snow before now, but I think she is the perfect age to actually enjoy it, so I'm glad we waited.

She wasn't so sure about all the white stuff on the ground at first (not to mention what we put her in so she could play in it!)



Her first reaction to the snow? To stand very hesitantly.




Then she got a little braver and started walking in it.





Then she got REALLY brave and let us take her sledding! There is a little hill between some of the buildings of our apartment complex, and it was perfect for a first time sledder!



I think she really enjoyed it. And it's a good thing we took her out in the snow in the morning, because it had all melted by the afternoon!
