After breakfast I took a look outside. Brad had knee surgery nearly 2 weeks ago, and with his parents vacationing in Cuba this week, I volunteered to shovel the sidewalk. We got hit with quite a bit of snow! Roughly about 15 cm over night id say. We have had 1 other snow storm before this one a couple weeks ago and that was much worse.
Once I got all dressed and got Zander all bundled up to come outside with me, I came to realize that the kind neighbours had snow plowed the sidewalks for us (score!). So since I already had Zander bundled up, we headed to the backyard with his sled.
Zander was sooo excited to play in the snow. I let him explore as much as he wanted, and yes, I even let him eat some snow (white of course, not yellow or brown).
Okay, so ever since Christmas, Zander has been obsessed with snowmen. Every time he sees one he goes crazy. So naturally, we made his first snowman. Right, let me rephrase that...I made Zander a snowman, and he decorated it and admired him. Either way you look at it, it was so worth it to see his smiles and the enjoyment he got from it :)
During our time outside we found mini hills to slide down, threw snowballs in the air, and I tried (key word tried) to teach Zander to make a snow angel. It's kind of hard to teach him when I wasn't exactly dressed properly, oh well! We still had so much fun!
We spent about an hour outside before it started to get a little too cold outside. Since my son is such a lover of the snow, I really had to bribe him to go inside. Hot chocolate! I swear it works every time!
It was a fun morning and we both really enjoyed ourselves, but we plan on spending the rest of the day indoors and playing our little hearts out.
