March: In Like a Lion

After 70 degree "short-sleeve weather" just days ago, we got 3 inches of snow last night! But by the time we went to church and ate lunch, I could tell it was fading fast! I threw everyone in their snow clothes (Brian has been officiating at the Track & Field Conference Championships for two days), and we ventured out!
Our cat, Skykomish, wandered up to greet us. Not quite sure what he thinks of the snow!
Dawson insisted on mowing the snow.
Owen and his "popsicle".
The girls made multiple sets of snow angels all over the yard!
It finally was naptime (past naptime, actually), but Dawson did not want to come inside! While I was stripping everyone of their outerwear, Dawson frantically pulled on Peyton's hat and was desperately trying to figure out how to put on her boots. He really went into rare form when he saw me grab the camera--he wasn't too thrilled at my amusement! After snapping the pic, de-hatting and de-booting him, I laid him in bed and I swear he was asleep in 60 seconds. He was worn out!!!

too too cute! You always have the cutest pictures of your kids. Where do you get all your energy? Riley went out for about 5 minutes and came in saying it was cold outside - duh! Miley is sick so even though I really wanted to take her out for picture sake, she didn't get to play in the snow.

that's the way we do it around here too... if you want to play in the snow you can't wait around you have to get out when it's falling or shortly there after!
It's quite the process isn't it! hats, gloves, snowpants, boots, etc etc etc.
