extremes in weather


The last two weeks have been kind of crazy.  We were at my mom's and it was warm enough to play outside in a tent that we found looking for something else.  Isn't Nana silly?!


Catherine also helped Grandpa fix the sink.  I think my dad was having some serious deja vous.


Then, whatever nasty sickness I had the girls got.  Catherine wasn't that bad, just really tired, but Samantha got it bad with a fever, my poor little thing.  Her nose ran for over a week.


But they got in some good snuggling time with their Daddy.


So pitiful!


And then it snowed!!!  We had snow suits that were just the right size of the girls from Shalana's twins so we stayed nice and warm.  Also, these mittens from my aunt matched the ones Dave and I had gotten when we went to the Olympics in 2010 (can't believe that was 4 years ago!).  They were huge but they are fleece-lined and kept our hands nice and toasty.




We didn't even have to explain to them how to make a snow angel.  Samantha was not a fan of lying down in the snow but Catherine did a great job.



Sledding was Sam's thing, and taking off her mittens to feel the snow.  She didn't mind walking on the deck where the snow made crunching noises, but Catherine absolutely refused.




Catherine's favorite part was throwing snow balls, especially at Daddy.


Got him!


(Insert maniacal laugh here! )


The problem of having a huge car, but with the baby coming I'm glad we did this rather than a 'normal' car.


As close as we got to sledding.  Hope everyone else has as much fun on their snow day!
