It totally put a damper on my cleaning/shopping schedule this week in order to get things ready for visitors. So since the majority of my day was already squashed do to the snow, I figured it was ok to promise Kylie some snow time this afternoon. :)
It stopped snowing mid morning so we ran to town to do a couple of errands and go to the grocery store to buy a carrot.
By the time we got home, it was snowing and starting to blow. Kylie was still determined to go out though. So after everyone had lunch and I put Sidney down for her nap, Kylie and I headed out to make her first snowman.
"First snowman?" you ask. Yes. She is 3.5 yrs old and we still haven't made a real snowman. ( I wouldn't really count this as a real one either, but she was happy with it!) It seems that where we've been living, we have never gotten any really good snowman snow - and if we did get it, it was WAY to unbelievably cold to go outside and play in it.
Here are a few pics of her first snowman.
(I remember these being easier to make when I was little!)

Sticking in the nose!
Adding the buttons!
Kylie and her little snowman!
The wind was getting kinda bad, so she wasn't real enthused about making a real big one. This was a perfect Kylie sized snowman though!
One of Kylie's fav. cartoons on tv is called Peppa Pig. Peppa loves jumping in muddy puddles after it rains. So, since we have a giant muddy driveway now due to the melting snow, Kylie couldn't resist doing some muddy puddle jumping. Even though I knew her feet would get soaking wet, I let her have her fun since I am sure (hopefully!) this will be the last real snowfall until this fall. (I HOPE!)
I love this picture. :)

(where all the babies come wandering out!)
Hope you all have a good week. I am sure it will be better than mine. I will be cleaning all week! :) Out of love!
