my snowy valentine

well it took longer to bundle him up than we actually were outside! none-the-less, it was adorable:)
john felt compelled to be outside shoveling because "all the other guys in the neighborhood are out shoveling!"
so he's hard at work "grunting" outside with all the other men! "grr..grr"
i am too warm all cuddled up on the couch with my laptop to go back out there! i had all the intentions of toughing it out to make it to the gym...um, not so much!
it's nice to finally see some "real winter weather" though! i was begining to become a little worried we'd never see a snow day!
it does make you think though, i mean doesn't it seem like snow was endless when we were kids? i have tons of snow day memories from my childhood. you know the ones...staying outside for hours, then finally coming inside when you officially lost all feeling in your toes & face. you walk in the door & mom yells at you to take off your boots & clothes because "you're going to get everything all wet!" layer by layer you are finally down to those thermals & socks. mom would put all our clothes on the space heater to dry while we had our grilled cheese sandwiches & chicken soup! our clothes weren't even completely dry by the time we thawed out for more play time!
i only hope jackson can have as many snowy memories as his mama:) hence bundling him for a five minute sleigh ride around the yard! totally worth it:)
