Playing in the Snow - Day Two

On Wednesday, we woke up to drifts of snow that were 3-4 feet high. Blizzard conditions overnight helped with that. So, playing was a little bit different on this day - still a lot of fun though!

Jumping into the biggest drift in our yard (my biggest kid included):

Snowball fight! (Gator and Hubs had a blast):

Trudging in the snow isn't easy when you sink up to your knees! This was Bull's favorite thing to do though (that and eat the snow):

Not a great picture, but I had to prove that Monkey and I were there too!

My poor outdoor decorations:

Peeling off the layers upon layers (notice the piles surrounding him):

For those interested, this is how I dressed the boys.

For the bottom half:

1 pair of my nylon trouser socks against skin, then a pair of my regular socks over the trouser socks;

pajama bottoms with another layer of my regular socks pulled up to the knees;

pair of sweatpants over all the above.

For the top half:

pajama top tucked into pajama bottom;

turtleneck;

sweatshirt;

two pairs of gloves (we only have knit ones);

hat.

On top of all that:

heavy winter coats;

Gator has snow pants and Bull has a snow bib. Snow bibs are where it's at! The pants were a hand-me-down, so I'm not complaining. But Gator's midsection was soaked from snow getting under the hem of his jacket. Bull was completely dry though! Next year, Gator will have a snow bib.
