Winter Wonderland

It’s not quite winter yet, but you wouldn’t know it by looking out the window today. It’s not even Halloween yet and we got snow! It started snowing a lot earlier in the day than the weather forecasters predicted (what else is new?) so we got to take Sam outside to play. We just bought Sam a new winter coat and snow pants, but we didn’t have snow boots that fit. Luckily, we stopped in Carter’s today and found a pair that fit her. Just in time! Last year Sam went out in the snow with us but I don’t think she liked it all that much. This time though, she was ready to go. Mark asked her if she wanted to go play in the snow and I couldn’t get her snow pants and boots on her fast enough. She was all decked out in her coat and snow pants, her boots, her new winter hat (that we also bought today) and her mittens.
Mark made Sam a snowball which she examined thoroughly.
Next up, it’s Snowman Time! Last year, Sam was so not interested in the multitudes of snow we had so we didn’t even bother making her a snowman, which is one of her all time favorite wintery things. This time, she was so excited to see her new snow friend.
She liked him so much, she gave him a hug.
Sam insisted on swinging in her swing, despite the freezing cold and the snow coming down. Thankfully, that didn’t last long, but she did want to stop to swing her cat.
Ok, Sam, it’s time to get inside and have a warm bath, snuggly pajamas, and a snack before bed. There’s always next time!
