Hey, give Mommy her things back.

It was a beautiful, snowy day today. Snowed from morning til dark. Both boys liked looking out the window as it snowed. Very large flakes came down - it was about 33 degrees out. Adam seemed to be feeling better today, thought he did get pretty fussy around nap time. I lay him in his crib and I think he was asleep before I left his room. It was a great day for playing outside in the snow. Jacob was not happy to getting into his snowsuit, but didn't seem to think about it as soon as we got outside. We had so much fun. First we made a really big snowman. Jacob tried to help with some of the pushing and also kept bring handfuls of snow and packing it on. For the midsection of our snowman I had a hard time lifting it up, but managed to get it up there with a little cheering from Jacob. As I smoothed the surfaces and gave them a round shape, Jacob kept bringing handfuls of snow and packing it on, then he'd say, "I get more snow". Then we went to find sticks and rocks. We had a hard time finding rocks so for the mouth and nose we used wood chips. The dogs were excited to be outside and had lots of fun running around and eating the snow. As we were getting sticks I noticed Kate wasn't around and she wasn't coming. Jacob and I looked around for her and found her laying on our back deck. Jacob loves digging in the snow with is shovel and we dug to the grass and made a little house. He laughed really hard when I started throwing snowballs at him. He tried to throw some back at me. We found some icecycle which he thought were cool. He picked up a handful of snow and said, "I lick cold cream". As we went inside he said, "I take cold cream inside" and he brought a handful inside. We made some hot chocolate and had a Christmas cookie. Jared was jealous that we got to play in such fun snow without him. I can't wait to build a quinzy this year. The boys and I were looking out the window waiting for Jared to come home. Jacob and I were pointing things out to Adam. I pointed at the snowman and said "snowman". Jacob looked at me and said, "No no-man, Frosty". When Jared was home he said he had almost ended up in the really big ditch by our house. I was glad he was home safely. Daddy played with the boys while I went outside to feed the animals. Jacob wanted to stay inside and play with Daddy. Then Jacob and I colored while Jared went out to plowed the driveway. Adam was rolling and scooting all over this evening. He found his way over to the Christmas tree. Jacob played with his cars on Truman - it was funny because Truman just layed there for a long time. Then he decided he would roll over and play too. We watched Winnie the Pooh and Christmas too.

This is his camera - after he takes a picture he likes to turn it and show me the picture he took (it must be digital).










This is him spraying me with his hose.
