The first real snowfall of the season arrived yesterday! The girls wanted to play in the snow right away. They were convinced that they could make snowballs and go sledding, even though the snow wasn’t deep. (as an aside, thank goodness for hand-me-downs and buying big! This year we don’t need any snow gear! [touch wood]) There’s a whole flickr set of snowball fun so far this winter.
The cool part was that they were making snowballs and tossing them to Jack, and he was catching them like they were tennis balls! Of course, he spat them out, but who could blame him? Today I used the fabulous Chuckit -Ball Launcher to whip balls across the yard. Best Dog Toy ever! Gets them good and tired without a lot of excess work from a tired and achey owner… Though we need some new Tennis Balls.
Unfortunately, the snow wasn’t deep enough for snow angels, and there wasn’t enough for making snow men either. The girls had a lot of fun in their snow suits pelting each other with snowballs! Snowball fights are great when no one gets hurt!
LG looks so cute (and warm and dry) when she’s wearing some pretty pink clothes from Paris and her pretty UMI shoes we won from Cool Mom Picks!
Meanwhile: my archives and old server are still down, and I can’t access them. However, my friend Jennifer of Partial to the Bean was able to get her entries since she was using blogger. She has a new URL now, so don’t forget to change your bookmarks!
