ice, ice, baby

Well, get ready, folks.  The photos from this day were a bit like Lay's...I couldn't have just one.

In typical Oklahoma fashion, we had snow Monday, and it cleared out that very same evening.  My husband took a work-from-home day (a very rare treat for us), so he could be part of Eli's first outdoor snow experience.  Last year, E was a tad too little and it was a lot too cold for us to get out in the blizzard. 

Exhibit A that he is my child: had to be woken up at 9:30.

This is a typical view from our dining table.  Baby with food.  Dog in waiting.  :)

Exhibit B: Orange-roll-aholic.

Yep.

Getting dressed for the cold is quite an event when there are books to be read...

...and whisks to be held.

A blurry, but irresistible image.  Baby in ski bibs.  Oh, it doesn't get better.

Told you there was ice.

I discovered my husband is some sort of snowman making machine.  He built one almost faster than I could capture it. 

And, there goes Frosty's nose.

Even though I'm not in school anymore, I get really excited at the prospect of a snow day.  Is it weird that I giddily watched the school closings scroll on the news that morning? I guess I just like knowing when kids  (and their teachers ;) get to stay at home for a day and enjoy, as I did.
