SNOW!

We had our second snow storm this year and there was about 5-6 inches of the white stuff everywhere.  I had promised AJ I would take him out to go play in it so after Daddy plowed the driveway and cleared the sidewalk, we bundled up and headed out!

All bundled up!

Still not looking all that happy to be going out to play in the snow.

There we go - there's that smile I was looking for!

I tried to ease him into the snow and put him in a shallow spot of snow...

But he wasn't too happy.

Then I finally got a smile out of him.

Still not sure though about this cold and powdery stuff.

Not only was it freeeezzing outside, but it was super windy too!

Still not looking all that into the snow...

'Mom, get this white stuff off of me!'

I figured it was time to move into the heavy stuff so off we went to the front yard..

And we have a smile!

'Where did my feet go?'

SNOW!!!

And he lost his balance and fell face first into it.  This is seriously almost a replica of a picture from last year's snow adventure!  My poor little guy!

To try calm him down from falling face-first into the snow, I figured we would go for a ride on his slide.  As you can see, that worked out really well.

So back to the front yard we went, but I brought toys this time around!

AJ decided he wanted to use his shovel to fill up the dump truck.

Moving the snow.

And eating the snow.

And standing proudly in the snow.

Back to shoveling.

Filling 'er up.

He was now excited to be in the snow.. phew!

This is tough work. 

And requires a lot of concentration. 

Look at him.  Isn't he just precious?!

Looking at his hardwork in the bed of the truck. 

'Oh no Mom, my glove fell off!'

'Still taking pictures, Mom?!'

Even though AJ wasn't too fond of the snow when we first went outside, he did not want to come back inside when I finally decided I was freezing and couldn't take anymore.  The poor thing was crying and throwing a fit because he wanted to stay outside... so I promised him we would go sledding tomorrow!  Stay tuned!
