we had enough snow on the ground monday to make it worth our while to go out and play in it. bean was SO very excited to show sprout what snow was all about! she kept talking about snowballs and snow angels and snowmen and snow forts as we got everyone bundled up. sprout didn't have any boots so i put an old pair of bean's on him. they were 2-3 sizes too big and magenta with leopard print- i promised him no one would ever know he was wearing girl boots. guess i lied, huh? ;)
sprout hated his snow pants, hated the boots, hated the mittens, and he's really always disliked his coat and hat. so, it didn't start out on the best foot but we did make it out the door.
the magpie had a GREAT time!

the bean had a GREAT time!

the sprout was..... suspicious.

but then thought maybe it wasn't so bad.

then he tipped over (seems it is difficult to sit up when you are so thoroughly bundled). he didn't like that part so much.

the snow was not of the packable variety so the snowball, snowman, snow fort thing was out but bean did make several angels. she also smashed snow into sprout's face which of course he did NOT like. the explanation was that she wanted him to try the snow (she loves to eat it and wanted him too do the same). sigh.
next time we get a decent snow we are going to my sister's house to do some sledding. wonder what sprout will think of that? ;)

Sprout's expressions are just too much. those little pouty lips...
My poor child has never seen that much snow. Not even all the snow she's ever seen added together would equal that much!
Whenever I see kids bundled up like that it makes me think of the little brother on A Christmas Story! HA!
I love his "suspicious" expression! Too cute!
You should go sledding today.... :)
I do think Sprout is the cutest little boy , the facial expressions are to much.
Snow playing sounds like such fun, its what i hate about Scotland - we do get a summer and don't get a winter either. Just cold wet days and slightly less cold wet days
oh....i love them! he is just adorable and funny all wrapped up in one little bundle!
Gosh, look at Bean. She looks overjoyed. LOL!
