I must say I am enjoying this first big snow in 2011! There's no school today, which doesn't really impact us at all... except that I've used it as an excuse to stay in my pajamas all day. Just because, that's what you do on snow days right?
I generally am an organized/prepared person, which absolutely means having a winter car kit. I don't think I've ever actually used it before, until yesterday. Yesterday I learned two things 1) My winter car kit is not as equipped as it should be 2) If you live on the top of a big hill you should definitely have a different vehicle than I do.... or you just might get stuck at the bottom of the hill and end up walking the rest of the way home.
We were heading home after church and lunch with friends and had little indication that we wouldn't be successful in making it the whole way. Try as we may, our car could not get up the hill. So we parked our car at the bottom, got out the winter car kit, bundled up Mason and ourselves, and had a nice snowy Sunday afternoon family walk up the hill and down our lane. The only thing you would assume would be in the kit car that was not... gloves. Fortunately there was a plethora of socks, which worked just as well. Had it not been 2 hours past Mason's naptime I probably would have entertained other options.... that and when else was I actually going to get to use the winter car kit?
So now we're officially snowed in, which is great by me as I'm tackling projects on my "Things To Do Before Baby Comes" list. Today is officially picture day, so here are some memories from warmer days!
Guess I should have put him in charge of watering the lawn...
I believe he was trying to escape... fortunately there's nothing but grass for quite a while :).
This is our "back yard".
