Snow Day

Well, today Rainah decided NOT to take a nap and daddy decided he WAS.  So, since it was actually above 30 degrees today, I thought I'd take Rainah outside to play for a little while.  I pulled her around in the sled for a bit and we somehow ended up in the backyard on the swings.  I know she's been missing playing out there, so I pushed her for a little bit.  She didn't want to get off.  We didn't stay out too long, but it was good to get some fresh air.  Cheyenne had fun running around a bit, too!

She wasn't too sure about going down the hill by herself.

Ahhh; swinging is fun!

Later that night... bath time- gotta have the Dora toys!

Snow Day

This morning we woke up to about 8 inches of snow on the ground. The schools in the area were closed, making a long Thanksgiving break even longer! I spent about an hour contemplating whether I should attempt to bundle Rainah up to let her play outside. I finally decided I definately had to. I got her bundled up pretty quickly, until we got to the mittens. We eventually got them on, but for sure not correctly. They didn't stay on long anyway. It took her a few minutes to adjust to all of the layers, puffiness, and boots, and stumbled around the house while I got my coat on. After a few steps outside she got the hang of it. She cracked up watching Cheyenne run around and eat the snow...so of course she had to try it, too. It must have been delicious because she ate a lot of it.
I pulled out the sled and took her for a ride up and down the driveway and she loved it. We didn't stay out too long since she was mitten-less and it was lunch time, but it was so cute watching her and getting some photos.










It was quite a feat just getting to the driveway


And that's about how long the mittens lasted






This is pretty much what she did the entire time... eat the snow
















Even on her sled ride, she'd hang out the side and scoop up some eats
