almost 5-year-old jenna loves the snow! it was fun to see how delighted she was playing in it. i never liked the snow as a child (or as an adult either!). it was too much work getting ready for one thing. back when i was a child (in the olden days) we had to wear many layers to keep warm. we didn't have all the snow repelling fabrics kids have now. and our boots were always hard to get on. we placed bread sacks on our triple-socked feet before pushing them into the boots. it made it easier to get the boots on and off. our sledding place back then was an abandoned gravel pit way back across a big field behind our house. it seemed to take eons to walk back there, especially since you had to walk like a mummy with all the heavy clothing. i was usually cold by the time i sled down the hill a couple of times and would head back to the house. inevitably i was in tears by the time i was able to shed all the layers. not my idea of fun.
these days i do enjoy getting out in the snow to take photos but sledding, not so much.
my apologies to my daughter megan for letting jenna taste the snow. as soon as i had the photo i told her to stop. seriously, i did!

jenna is such a cutie, so pretty in pink from head to toe, including her rosy cheeks. i love to crush the snow, too. especially the chunks along the side after shoveling ;).
A little munch of snow never hurt anyone...as long as it wasn't yellow or worse in my mind, black. I can remember the sooty snow when I was a child. I don't imagine there is such a thing any more. I loved playing outside in the snow. I still do. Only it really isn't play. I find something that must be done. Like shoveling or sweeping the front porch. Walking around looking for something green and alive. Bird watching... Your little Grand is beautiful. Love those rosy red cheeks. She looks so healthy. And doesn't a nap feel so good after a good romp in the snow.
Snowing here now. Snow on snow so very slippy outside. I was all snug and warm inside then looked out of the window to spy some neighbours trying to free a car... I had to do the good thing so put on my layers and went out to help! Silly guy had been playing football and was only wearing his sports kit!!
I'm with YOU. Snow play is not my favorite! My kids, on the other hand, LOVE it... and I love to watch them love it... but, playing in it with them... that's up to their daddy and big brother! ;)
cute and cozy! ;)
So funny. My son probably ate his weight in snow over the past two days. Gross, I know.
Love the rosy cheeks!!
Looks like fun!! Yesterday I had on a tank top here.. BUT I love Texas winter (or the lack there of ).... I would like one day to play in that fun snow however!!
