So my last post was about Jonah helping Honey Daddy rake leaves on Wednesday, right? Well the next morning we woke up and it was a winter wonderland! Everything was covered with a thick, white blanket and it was still snowing when the boys woke up.
Jonah was fascinated and immediately wanted to go outside. So after breakfast I bundled the boys up and we headed out into the snow. This was Eli's first experience with snow, and at first he wasn't sure if he liked it or not. But I set him down in the snow and made faces at him and he decided maybe it was ok.
Jonah had a great time in the snow. He ran all around the yard, making little trails as he went. His happiness and enjoyment of the snow almost made it more bearable for me. Winter and cold are not my favorite things!Here is Jonah using his sandbox shovel to pile snow up on our porch swing.
Even though I don't particularly care for snow, I played with Jonah as we ran around the yard. I did see some things that I thought were beautiful. Here is a picture of our chain link fence that morning. I really liked the pattern the snow made on the fence.
Apparently our peach tree is a little bit behind the times.
Finally I just had to post this last photo. It was getting close to Eli's nap time, so he was getting tired. I set him down to see if I could get a cute photo of him on his belly in the snow. Just check out the look that he is giving me!
Mom, I am done. Put that camera away!Isn't that look just priceless? Sometimes that look describes exactly how winter makes me feel. It can be fun, but every once in a while I am just done with it!
The snow has mostly melted now, but it is getting COLD here. We probably won't be seeing the 70s again for quite some time!
I can't help myself. I love both of these carnivals!
great pics! I love that one of the chain link fence. Your little guys expressions are too much
ReplyDeleteThis weather has been quite a switch from last week, huh?
ReplyDeleteBravo for playing out in the snow. I'm pretty content to watch from the window.
Such precious pictures! Brrrr... snow :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh my memories of snow.
ReplyDeleteI do miss it, though never have had to deal with it as an adult!
I can't wait for Merrick to be exposed, though I am sure I will recieve a similiar face as yours, accompied by a fierce, "NO MOMMY!"
Get out that little shovel:-) It's coming soon:-)
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! My boys have been blessed to see snow once a year for the past 3 years. There are so many Texans who NEVER see snow!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are great!
Ohhh I hope we don't get snow for awhile. I've got too much to do! I can't be stuck in my house 'cause of snow!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!
WOW I can't believe you have snow. I know two people (kids) that are glad it did!
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get snow here, but it sure is dang cold!
It went from warm to cold in like an instant!
I'm staying in with my blankies...thank you.
Snow already?? Gorgeous, but brrrrrrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteOh, snow. I must say I am NOT looking forward to the white stuff...but I love seeing pictures of other peoples' kids in it! LOL...and that look really is pricless.
ReplyDeleteThat last shot is so stinkin' adorable!!!! A shot for the Christmas cards I think!
ReplyDeleteLately even activities I don't want to do I am more willing if I can bring my camera along...you got some great shots even if you aren't keen on the cold white stuff!
Wow, snow. I know what it is and that it happens in winter (I'm from Chicago, so I get the snow thing), but I'm always amazed by the first few snowfalls of the year (we don't get it here, but just seeing your pictures). Amazing haiku!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your Photostory Friday!! Your boys are awesome!!!!!

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!
ReplyDeleteI am so NOT prepared for snow!!
Your boys! Just love those faces!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures... being from a hot weather state, I love to see pictures of snow!! I especially love the pic of the snow on the chain link fence!!
ReplyDeleteI am so not ready for snow. We've been having unseasonably warm weather here. Gorgeous pictures. The look on that little guy's face is priceless. And great shot of the chainlink fence!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you got snow! It's so fun taking kids out in the snow for the first time.
ReplyDeleteI love the snow. Esp new snow.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the SNOW! I'm not a snow person. It's beautiful but I HATE the cold. But I love your pictures and your kids' facial expressions. Precious. Looks like you got your leaves raked up at the right time!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures were great but that last one of your little guy takes the cake to stinkin cute!
ReplyDeleteSNOW! I miss SNOW! So I am guessing when my mom got home to Utah from visiting my bro in AZ she had a little chilly snow to arrive to?
ReplyDeleteOh wow, these were just PERFECT photos! Snow looks so fun for the first few times, right? :)
ReplyDeleteI can't stop smiling. They are SO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos-especially the "mom, I'm done..." one! :)
ReplyDeleteAmazingly, It was 70 degrees here in VA today! Completely unseasonably warm - I'm loving the remnants of fall!
Beautiful pictures, I feel the same way Eli does about snow.
ReplyDeleteI used to live in New Hampshire and sometimes I do miss a good snow storm! We don't get it too much here in GA. Love the pictures! Sounds like you had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteI am still amazed that we live in the same country and you have snow. We are still in fall..although this morning it was 35 degrees. Aren't kids cute bundled up? These are great First Snow pictures and your poem in the photo is really nice.
ReplyDeletesnow, it's crazy that I miss it when we don't have it, but it just belongs to winter and your kids have a blast.
ReplyDeleteWow, I can't believe that you got that much snow, crazy.
ReplyDeleteBut the boys did look fun playing in it.
How beautiful! Great pictures- I wish that it would snow here!!
