Snow Fun

It really snowed. Or as Colin says "crowed" (amazingly he can pronounce all the dinosaurs names but he can't say snow yet...) The weatherman finally got it right.  And not just a slight dusting. Last I measured we had around 7 inches and its still falling.  We've had a lot of fun outside.  We had a makeshift sled as I went to Home Depot last night and they suggested using a cement mixing tub as a sled. It works great. Joel and Colin spilled out of it once- but they didn't seem to mind.  Colin has been outside off and on all day.  He even helped me shovel the driveway. Colin also wants to "snow plow" the whole backyard and wants us to push him on his caterpillar truck.  Smart kid but its so hard to push when he has the front plow part down!  Once it stops snowing we'll take Joel back outside. He keeps looking out the windows and keeps crawling to the garage door when we go out. He doesn't want to miss anything his big brother is getting to do. Joel may be 6 months but he thinks he is 3 like his brother and should get to do everything Colin does. Colin wants to make a snowman or a snow dinosaur but its too powdery to do any of that. Maybe tomorrow after it starts melting some.

I know I am biased, but I love the picture of me throwing a snowball and all you see is a white trail of dust! Really it was just how fast I threw it.....
