Pete Likes It

Pete likes snow. I guess he doesn't know any better right? Mom on the other hand dislikes snow more than ever. Not only have the majority of my plans been ruined by bad weather but it takes twice as long to go anywhere. Bundling the kids up stinks. The roads have been slow and dangerous. Our days are twice as long when we can't go outside. Pete begs to go outside every day not realizing how miserably cold it is out there until he gets out there. I have to distract him, bribe him, stall him until Jamie goes down for a nap then we head out into the cold. I hate it. He loves it. For a little while. One day he was so torn. He wanted to stay out but he was so cold. He would start to go inside and cry and head back out, then stop and cry. Then head back in and cry and stop and try to figure out what to do. So, I dragged him inside because if I stayed out any longer my tears were going to freeze to my face. It's hard to have an outside boy, inside.

Here are some pictures of our first snow. One good thing about it, it didn't hit until a few days into Dec.
