It's a Blizzard...

Since the record breaking snowfall on Tuesday, we have had what I will refer to as cabin fever! About 14 inches of snow has come down in a 12 hour period. Usually in Oklahoma, it snows and then about two days later it looks like it never happened.

Not this time!

My husband walked to the hardware store up the street today so he could buy a snow shovel so he could start trying to uncover our cars! He shoveled for about 3 hours. Then he had to clear a little patch in the back for the dogs so they would stop looking at us like we were completely nuts for expecting them to go outside!

We have tried to go outside as much as we can to give Aiden his much needed play time. It was still snowing a little and not TOO cold yet Tuesday afternoon, so we bundled up and headed into the backyard. What you can't see is the three layers of clothes under the huge Puffy coat. This kid was as warm as can be! He likes for his dad to walk around holding his hands and swing him into the air...

...and let him land on his booty in the snow.

He thought it was pretty funny. Mimi got him some green frog rain boots for Christmas. With 4 pairs of socks stuffed into them, they doubled quite nicely as snow boots!! Now when he wants to go outside, he puts on his hat and asks where "fwog" is.

There was a huge snow drift on the side of our yard almost as tall as Aiden, I thought I would just take his picture by it so we could see how tall the snow was.

And then he went for it...

First just a little touch...

Then an entire hand and, what's this, maybe a little bite as well!

We have snow face!!

And a cold hand.

D put his gloves on Aiden and it looked pretty funny how his hands now appeared to be freakishly huge!

I was able to get in front of the camera a time or two, just for documentation that I do, in fact, exist.

Then we moved on to the slide portion of our backyard fun. He would slide down and say "weee"! He never does that! It was pretty funny!

Action shot Penny, Go!!

She is springing in to action to chase something. We never really know what she is after. But she sure is cute doing it!

We have to give Roz, the new dog an honorable mention for today. She has short hair, and she really wanted to be outside but she was shaking really bad after about 5 minutes do she was sent back in, where she chewed something up to let us know how she felt about it.
