Playing in the snow

As I mentioned the other day, we got quite a lot of snow and I was ready to take you out to build a snowman.  On the day of all the snow, however, it just snowed and the wind was rather fierce all day long--it was actually true blizzard conditions at times.  Thus, we stayed inside and waited until the next day (yesterday) to get you all geared up for snow time.  Finally got to use those snowpants mommy bought for you in...the beginning of November (I blamed this action as the reason we lacked a big snow all winter up until now).  You were elated to get all decked out in winter wear and head outside.  It was pretty bright, though, and you weren't totally sure what to do with all that white stuff lol.  Mommy tried to get a snowman started, but the snow was too fluffy--wouldn't stick well enough to hold shape.  Instead, I proposed that we make snow angels.  I went first, and you seemed mildly amused.  When I said it was your turn to try, you just wanted me to make another one.  I said you should try and that I'd help you.  You only did the arms part and then wanted to get up.  You said we should go inside, but we'd only been out for a few minutes, so I decided we should try the backyard where it's not bright.  Back there, I threw snow in the air and this pleased you very much, so you tried as well.  This is where you decided that this was grand fun and did it over and over again.  After that, you headed back towards the driveway and grabbed one of the chunks of snow, threw it sideways, and declared that to be fun as well.  We somehow ended up at the end of the driveway and out in the circle, where you had tons of fun throwing snow chunks of all sizes sideways (I think you wanted to throw them in front of you, but in trying to get your arm in motion to do so, it ended up going to the side each time).  Either way, your cheeks were getting quite pink by the 45 minute mark, so I then said we should go inside.  You didn't want to do this now, so we played a little longer and then came back in.
Today it snowed again a little bit and you wanted to go out, but it's much colder now, so I said you will have to wait on that until another day :)  Love you!
