I was jealous that Jon got to play with the boys in the snow. Of course I was not jealous of the shoveling or being housebound or suiting and unsuiting toddlers, but I was sad to miss the boys' first real snow experience. Jon took pictures and video to show me when I got home. Could these little boys look any happier?
Fortunately (or unfortunately) it was still cold on Wednesday so the snow didn't melt. Jon had to fly out to Arkansas so I picked the boys up from school early and headed out into the snow with them.
I could not believe how much they loved playing in the snow. I taught them to hit the trees so the snow rained down. I showed them how to cover your tongue with snow. And apparently Jon taught them to throw snowballs because Nate creamed me pretty hard from behind. And the front. And the side. And I laughed and laughed.
Add this to the reasons I love living in North Carolina - just enough snow to enjoy it without dealing with it all winter long. It was such a nice treat and seeing the boys so excited capped off a pretty spectacular week.

Such fun! Nate and Alex are getting pretty good at their "cheese faces" and posing for the camera!! So cute.
Yay--I'm so glad you got to enjoy it! Wow--an inauguration and playing in the snow with your twin toddlers, all in one week. It'll be hard to top this one! (Besides the whole taking-care-of-twin-toddlers-by-yourself-after-an-exhausting-trip-to-watch-the-inauguration part!)
So cute, gladly ship you some of ours if I could the next time the boys need a snow fix ;) Actually, the snow is beautiful and I really do like it. But like you said, glad we have other seasons!
Awwww, so cute! That post (and pics) actually brought tears to my eyes remembering all the fun I used to have in the snow as a kid. Such sweet memories :)
Wow, your backyard looks awesome! Your boys are sooo cute!
I wanna play in a snowy backyard! What a wonderful conclusion to your wonderful week!
(Thank you so very much for your kind, kind words on my post yesterday. I am SERIOUSLY pondering applying at Trader Joe's..you are the second person who's said great things about working there. Thank you for sharing so much of your experience... I appreciate it so much!)
I'm ashamed to admit how old my California kids were before they first saw snow. Your guys are so lucky. What a blast!
I'm so glad they had fun!! And, they look adorable all dressed up like that. We were not so fortunate with our first (or second) adventures in the snow. Aaron was into it. Brady fell within the first 10 seconds, screamed and then refused to have fun. Finally on the third try, he warmed up a bit.
How is it possible that you got more snow in NC then we did in NJ??? That's SO not fair! We got about an inch. The girls were still super excited about it but it wasn't enough for snowmen or snowballs. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get one big blizzard before the winter is over! Great snow pics!!!
Very cute!
