Snow day!

I can't wait for real snow days, but we decided to take advantage of our recent snowfall to have a litle fun in our backyard. I am not a huge fan of having hills in our yard, but for days like this, it is perfect!

Patrick wasn't sure what we were doing at first, but I think he picked up on the fun quickly!

After hauling him up and down the hill, we were tuckered out, but Patrick was ready for more!


He really didn't get too cold until he took his mittens off and played in the snow a bit. Then he was ready for some hot cocoa inside!

October Snow

On friday we enjoyed our first big and beautiful snow. Patrick fell in love instantly. He is such a copy cat and loves to do all the big people things.

Sometimes mom and dad need to take said big things away. This typically doesn't sit well. I still think he is kind of cute crying though too! ;)

Dad helped out though and gave him a Patrick sized tool that worked even better since it also doubled as a spoon.

Patrick went right to work "helping" daddy.

He also had a snack break once and while. We need to work on colors so he can pick out the yellow stuff!

I think he may have stayed outside all night playing if we let him. Now we need to figure out how to get mittens on his hands so they don't freeze!
