A couple of weeks ago, we here in Catlin got a LOT of snow.
Like, 8 inches, or close to that. It was our first 'big' snowstorm.....it was so pretty coming down, and they boys were just aching to get out there and play in it.
Colin and Cameron haven't really 'played' a lot in the snow--they are still little yet, and of course, I can't take them out there because I have Ethan to worry about. He can't go out in the snow! (A side note here: in all actuality, Ethan is just a wonderful little excuse for me. I do not enjoy the cold, and especially do not enjoy playing out in it.....I am so glad I have to stay in with him!)
Anyway, back to the boys and their begging....it was a great thing (for me!) that their Daddy was home that day! Shane agreed to take them out and play, so I began the bundling process. Four shirts, three pair of pants, two pair of socks, one hat, one pair of boots, one coat (with another hat) and 27 minutes later, they were ready to go! What a site.
Colin was truly enjoying himself. He thought this was just the greatest thing. Cameron, on the other hand, thought that this was all sort of neat, but did NOT like getting snow on his gloves or his face. If that did happen, he would go walking over to Shane, calling for him to "help me, Daddy!" It was really cute, and despite him not being very sure of the whole thing, he hung in there for a good length of time.
They were really enjoying themselves for a while.....

Here is some video, shot through the window, as were all of the pictures (I was certainly not going outside to take the pics!)
Ah, a day that gave us many memories!

This post reminds me of myself. I am always pawning off playing in the snow to my husband too! I'll be out there long enough to take pictures then I head inside and get ready for when they come back in. Our husbands dress alike, at least when it comes to the snow. Deric is always in his carhart overalls, his hooded sweatshirt, and his work boots.
