Snowy Day!

I know it is only February but as I was looking at my snowless backyard the other day, I was thinking we were done with the snow this season. Not sure why I thought that! Those of you who know me well, know that I am not a fan of the snow. I've always said that when my kids go to preschool, they will say to their teachers: "I don't think I can go outside today. My mama doesn't let me play in the snow." Well, Zachary is only a year old and I took him outside to 'play' in the snow yesterday! I am very proud of myself, I must say. My mother spent the day with us and late in the afternoon we decided it was time to take Zachary out to see how he liked the snow. Really we just wanted to get some cute pictures of him :) He could barely move because he was bundled so much. So, he pretty much just sat there looking at us. I don't think he knew what to make of it. I think Sophie and Reba thought it was funny having him sitting in the snow because they kept going up to him and licking his face. Sophie, of course, barked at him as well. After only a short time outside, we decided to take the snow inside with us! This was much more fun for Zachary because he could actually move around and play a little. He mostly just took it out of the bowl, threw it on the floor and ate it.
