Snow Day

Yesterday we had snow! It was so nice to watch the snow fall all day and we took many adventures out to the yard to play in the snow. The only down side is that it is so cold (16 degrees right now) that the roads are just sheets of ice. This means we are stuck at home and might have to miss our soccer class today...boo!

So we spent the day yesterday entertaining ourselves with playing in the snow and playing inside. My favorite moment of the day was Henry's Frosty performance. The video and some pictures of the day are below.

Baby It's Cold Outside

The weather has taken a turn for the very cold! We are expecting a low of 17 degrees tonight...brrr! So we had a cozy week and weekend with friends. The kids love to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse all cozied up in my bed. Little baby Thomas is getting so big and he is starting to be able to hang with the big kids, at least for a photo opportunity. I love see Henry with him. Its kind of like big brother training.

We had a light snow storm yesterday. Nothing stuck to the ground but Henry loves trying to catch snowflakes with his tongue. It doesn't look like it was snowing in the picture which makes it seems wierd but I am sure I will have plenty of snow pictures if the weather keeps up for winter.

Power Play

Yesterday was just one of those days where everything required some effort. Just getting out the door took 20 minutes of conversation and frustration! So I had one of those days where I kept trying to send Bill telepathic messages to come home early. When Henry woke up from nap I hd all but resigned to the day and decided we would stay home and be lazy. Henry had different plans and decided we must go to the park. I went expecting it to be a bad experience because our last trip to the park had ended in tears and a tantrum because I had forgotten our sand toys. We brought Henry's bike, and the sand toys, and he rode through the entire park and we just played and had fun. It was exactly what I needed!!!! It was empty which is always fun because it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Henry also shared in the sandbox which is major. It took some persuading and tears but it happened!!

So I realized that my 2 year old has the power to take me from the most frustrated person in the world to the happiest. I am beginning to think that it is a lot of power for such a little guy!

Here is a picture of Henry riding through the park. I dare you not to smile just looking at this picture!

Celebrate

We had a great weekend! The Ducks won, I went to brunch with friends, we saw lots of pictures of our sweet new neice Lucy and we got to celebrate my nephew Davis' birthday! We went over for dinner and Henry had a blast. He even sat at the table with us and ate some dinner just like at home. He loves his cousins and Auntie and Uncle a bunch and it is so fun to get together. The picture below is when we were eating birthday cake and Davis put the birthday hat on Henry. As you can see he loved the cake and the hat! We also go to go ome with a bunch of hand me down books and toys!

Tea For Two

Henry and I had a tea party this morning. It was so chilly when we woke up that we decided to warm up with a yummy drink. I should also mention I was out of coffee and it was 6am and we needed to kill some time. Henry enjoyed the first few sips but by the time I took this video I think it was a little bitter for him. He did keep saying he loved it. It was a really sweet and silly time for us this morning!
