Ugh Snow!

Checking out the snow.


Dad dumping the snow on top of Nathan (what a nice guy he is!). Nathan loved it!


Making his first snow angel.


So, it snowed buckets last weekend here in Louisville. Yes, SNOWED! In March!!! The weekend before, everyone had started thinking of where they were going to put all the snow boots, coats, sweaters, socks, thermal underwear, gloves, hats, and heaters...in lieu of the shorts, tank tops, swim shoes, trunks, suits, flip flops and froo froo dinks with umbrellas in them.. It was beginning to look a lot like Spring time. Alas, Mother Nature and Father Time had other plans (I HATE it when they go against MY plan, by the way!!)...and decided to give the city of Louisville a nice little wake-up call...AND all those school age kids one more day off. It dumped buckets...for Louisville that is (family out in the Prairies of Wyoming and the Mountains of Utah, you would have laughed at the "dusting" we got!). Regardless...it did give us a chance to take Nathan outside to play in the snow. We did realize that we are soooo unprepared for snow. Meaning, none of us have boots or matching gloves and hats and coats (because matching is SOOO important). Jonathon and I aren't that big of a deal, but poor Nathan had like two outfits on, just to stay warm. He DID have a nice warm coat and hat and gloves. Next year though, we will need to make sure we get some boots. Oh and snow paraphernalia...such as...a sled...?!



Oh yes, and one more thing....Nathan LOVED the snow...except when he had to touch it. ;)



Oh and another thing...it totally makes me want to live in Utah so that we can go sledding with The Frentheway Crew, and so Nathan can learn to ski (of course, that desire to live in Utah, in the cold, lasted about long enough to have the thought and then the desire turned to wanting to live in Arizona where we didn't ever have to deal with the cold took over.).
