First Snow

About a week ago we had our first snow. Ezri looked out at the dusting of snow and said, “Now Meghan and I can go sledding!” I thought we better go out and play in the snow fast because it might all melt by afternoon.

It took me way too long to realize that Ezri wanted to tuck Baby Cory in her jacket and wear her in the snow because that is exactly what I do with Ivan on our outside adventures.

Here’s me with Ivan in my coat.

Here’s Ezri making a snow angel with Baby Cory in her coat.

Here she is getting ready to go out. There wasn’t much snow and I was not sure Ezri needed her snow pants, but she insisted. Since she wanted to roll around in the dusting of snow, turns out the 2 year-old was right.

We also did some snow writing and drawing with sticks.
It’s an easy clean-up project since it will just melt away later!

This drawing was of a castle where a princess and a queen lived and a forest where a dragon and three bears lived together in a cave.
You could tell that, right? The castle is in the hose loop and the forest is outside of it.

Ezri can not yet write letters yet, but she does recognize her name when it’s written in upper-case block letters. “E-Z-R-I that spells me.”

It was a fun snowy morning and not too cold to really spend some time outside. We looked at animal tracks (mostly domestic feline), played on the slide, and snow stomped.
