A Fun Snow Day

We weren't lucky enough to have a "bad weather day" off work, but we did manage to get home early enough for Tyler and Dave to make a few runs down the hill on the side of our house before it got dark. Tyler wasted no time getting bundled up and immediately grabbed his snow shovel so that he could help Dave clear off the driveway. He also LOVED going sledding; you could hear him giggle every time he sailed down the hill. I really think he could have stayed outside for hours! Connor, on the other hand, was a completely different story. It took us 15 minutes just to get his snow boots to stay on (he kept kicking them off before we could stand him up). Then, when we finally got him outside, he just stood shell-shocked in the garage, looking less than thrilled about venturing out into the snow. We carried him around to the side of the house so that he could see Tyler sledding, thinking that once he saw how much fun his big brother was having, he'd want to join in the fun for sure. NOT!! Better luck next year. :)

Our first (and probably only) REAL snow this winter--a whole 7 inches!
One of Tyler's favorite things to do when it snows is shovel off our driveway and sidewalk. He would do it all day long if we never called him in!


Tyler had a blast sledding down our hill on his penguin tube from Mama Jeanie.
Unfortunately, Connor did NOT share his excitement, but Dad had to do it just once for posterity. :)
