First Snow!

FIRST SNOW!!!
We knew snow was in the forecast, but it was still a chilly surprise to wake up to this this morning.  Burrr!  The boys were so upset that they still had school, but I had to remind them they live in Colorado...not California! 
Makai was so excited for the snow.  When the older boys and dad left this morning he wouldn't stop crying till I let him out!  So, I put on his gloves and took him to the backyard.  He LOVES snow!!  Here he was throwing snow and saying, "Bye, Bye snow!"


He enjoyed playing with the snow on his feet.
He enjoyed eating the snow. 


Must remind him of shaved ice.
He was mesmerized by the falling snow.
Then he went back to eating it.




Unfortunately, all good  things must come to an end.  Just as I thought he was part Eskimo, he burst into tears.  I'm guessing it was the point I'd hit 5 minutes prior when you can no longer feel your toes.  I took him inside and gave him a nice warm bath.  He was all smiles once again.  Whenever he gets out of the tub I always wrap him in a towel and say, "Nice and Warm, Nice and Warm" while I dry him off.  When he was ready to go in he said through the cries, "Nice and warm, nice and warm!"  I thought he'd learned his lesson, but no, when the boys got home from school he wanted back outside.  He played outside for over an hour!!  Gotta love the First Snow of the year!!

To be honest I am so glad I do not live where it snows. However it does look beautiful and fun to play in.
Makai, I don't like it when my toes get cold either.
