Blog-i-dee-blog.: Snow Day = Happy Day

The entire neighborhood is covered in a good 3 inches of fluffy snow. What a glorious way to wake up. There's something so calming yet exciting about having a snow day. I got Oliver up this morning and let him help me open the blinds. He was in awe of what he saw.. "ahhhh ohhhhh" kept coming out of his mouth. He repeated 5 or 6 times, "sno, sno, sno..." We went from window to window looking at our pretty white yard.

I have been hoping for a good snow since we got one last January. Oliver was only 10 months when we had our last snow, so this go round he really enjoyed himself.

Mom brought my brother's old sled by on Thursday, so we took it outside with us, but he wasn't very interested in riding. He wanted to walk, explore, touch, and eat the snow. I started throwing snow on him and he thought it was so funny... until it got into the neck of his shirts. That's when the fun ended. Opps! We rushed back inside to get his clothes off and the snow off his skin. Once we got all the snow off, he was fine and started licking the snow off his gloves. I got him a cup full of snow to eat inside. This made him happy. Hopefully we'll get back out there after nap.. For now I'm enjoying the peace and quiet and watching the snow from the window.. and the funny neighbors riding their bikes.
