Snowy Day

I'm a little behind, but a couple of weeks ago we had our first substantial snow. The kids couldn't wait for it to stop snowing so they could get outside. Once we got them dressed in enough layers to rival Randy on A Christmas Story, they ran out into the glorious white stuff. Brooklyn immediately dove into the snow for a quick snow angel. She also thought snow tasted pretty good. Xavier wasn't so sure. He thought it was awfully cold to be outside. He decided that sledding was a pretty fun thing to do. After all the fun, there was work to do. Brooklyn and Xavier each have a child sized shovel. While Andy and I shoveled the driveway, they tackled the yard?! Xavier decided it would be fun to dump a shovel full of snow onto the dog. Lucky for her, she has pretty quick reflexes and got out of the way. Next, Xavier went after his sister. He carried a full shovel across our entire front yard to where she was loading the sled full of snow. She had no idea he was coming. I was having way too much fun watching to warn her of the impending doom. He raised the shovel as high as he could and let loose, unintentionally,...on himself!! It was all I could do to swallow my laughter as I brushed the snow from his face. Hopefully, that taught him a lesson!
