Let it Snow!

Well about an hour after my last post it started snowing and hasn't done much else since then. It's been quite the experience! I'm becoming an expert at driving in snow and have to say I LOVE my car! It drives so good in the snow. Its been really really cold this week (I'm sure I'll be saying that for the rest of winter because it seems like every week it gets a little colder!) We had a few days in the 20s this week!! Rilyn's favorite spots in the house are over the heating vents. I don't ever want to hear anyone from AZ complain about how cold it is when its 65 outside! Oh an according to the weather report we're supposed to get a bunch more snow the next week and a half (I can only see 10 days into the future) but I'm thinking Erie will have a white Christmas for sure! Rilyn is totally LOVING the snow and we're learning all sorts of things about living in the snow. Like how much work shoveling is and how salt is your driveways best friend. Ri looks so cute in her snow suit and I love to watch her try to learn to walk in it! We built a snowman who Rilyn named, Once There Was A Snowman (shes very creative isn't she) and we made a little sledding hill in the backyard to introduce the concept to Rilyn. She LOVES it! She calls it "sliding". She laughs the whole way down! She's also figured out that going down the hill on her stomach is so much more fun. Rilyn is also learning how to make snow angels. She thinks you just have to lay down and forgets to move her arms and legs.

Its pretty funny to watch. I also had an unfortunate event in the snow. I slipped on my back steps while taking the dog out to the potty. Lets just say my back has a nice bruise and I feel like I broke my hip from my legs flying out from underneath me. Luckily it was like 18 degrees outside so no one saw! I laughed pretty dang hard at myself though. Too bad we don't have that on film! We also got Lola some snow boots which she HATES and refuses to walk in (I guess I'll have to be more creative). Maybe some old baby socks would work. She loves to wear her jackets though! Shes so cute! Cody only has one more week of school and we are so excited to get to spend the break with him! Rilyn really misses her daddy when hes at school.
