Snow Day

When Eric went outside to shovel, Ezri wanted to as well.
I said we would need boots.
Ezri got her boots and started to put them on.
I said we need snowpants first and pulled hers out of the closet.

She put them on all by herself pretty quickly. She even zipped them herself. That’s why she looks proud in this photo.

I then got on her boots and her hat and her mittens.
She grabbed Pete the Cat and here is begging to bring him outside with us.
“Pete wants snow, Mama.”

After giving Pete a number of consolation hugs, he remained behind.

Eric had cleared a nice trench for us to walk in. Ezri commented that the neighbor was “Snow mowing” which is her word for using a snowblower.

Once she got bored of running back and forth in the trench Ezri attacked the snowbank.

She also forged a path of her own in the driveway.

When she ran into trouble she said, “Mama, help up.”

She really did want to help Eric with mammoth shoveling job.

She was not much help, but did offer a supportive hug for dad.

She was inside for a whole 20 minutes before grabbing her snowpants and asking to return to the snow. But, I decided we’re waiting to suit up again until after nap.
