SNOW!

We love snow around here. We don't get it that often, so when we do (well, if it's more than a dusting) we get pretty excited. Kevin watches the Weather Channel all day & night when there is "weather" on the way. I even got him a Weather Channel t-shirt and he wore it. (Kev - hope it's ok I'm giving out your secrets :) So, when it snowed about 7 inches here last night - he was VERY excited to take his son out in the snow.

Just to prove that we had the kid bundled up, let me tell you that he had on 2 shirts, baby legs, socks, fleece footie jammies and then this snowsuit (I LAUGHED the entire time I was trying to put this thing on him! Poor child.)

I'm still laughing. My sister handed this down to us and, although the tag says 9-12 months, she told me her son wore it at age 2. Okay - I believe it. This thing is HUGE and hilarious. All I could think of was Ralphie from A Christmas Story. I think we need to invest in a proper snow outfit if we get another snow.

Here are some pictures of Micah's first foray into snow!


He's still traumatized from being put in the snowsuit.

A little confused about why we just put him down in the snow.

Kevin is trying to show him how much fun snow is...

He got into it for a minute.

Cute boys!

  1. Aren't you from the St. Louis, MO area? You guys don't get snow much? Isn't St. Louis only a few hours west of Bloomington/Normal, Illinois? I went to school down there and we always had just as much snow as Chicago.

  10. So cute! What will be really fun is when he is older and potty training. I gaurantee you'll get him in one of those snowsuits and then he'll have to go to the bathroom. I always hated that part as a kid!
