Snow Day

Last Saturday it snowed all day which Clara loved! She wanted to go outside and play with the other girls in our neighborhood, but she doesn't have any snow clothes. This is the first year she's wanted to play in the snow, so we improvised. We put a few layers of clothes on her, and then found a pair of shoes that are too big for her. Then we put on two pairs of socks and a small Ziploc bag over each foot, inside the shoe. I know it sounds strange, but her feet were warm and dry! (We are going to invest in some winter play clothes...don't worry.)



We made this mini snowman, which she delightedly kicked over. And kicked in the head.

Man, you guys have the perfect sledding yard. We love your snowmen and Jared said, "Hmm, I didn't think Clara seemed like the violent type." Ha! What a little cutie!!

I know that green coat. Great picture, but please keep the snow.

Check Gabes for some good deals on winter clothes. The boys got some snow pants there recently.

That looks like a ton of snow. Too bad we missed it.
