Fun in the Long Gone Snow

So, since these pictures were taken Columbus has had zero snow and lots of rain. Correction, since I started this post a few days ago we didn't have snow. Now we have snow again. However, it is just a dusting with lots of cold wind. So, good thing we took advantage of the last storm when it was around.

Derrick didn't enjoy the snow much. Actually, he didn't enjoy the snow at all. It was rather amusing and sad at the same time. Especially, after Danny picked him up and plopped him on top of a snow pile. Derrick just cringed and whined until we took him off. The storm made for lots of fun pictures and video. Enjoy! (Video is at the bottom of the post, please ignore my horribly cheesy mommy commentary)
Mary loved playing in the snow, and made many snow angels with reckless abandon.


The only time we got a semblance of a smile from Derrick was when he was on the shoveled sidewalk, and Danny was walking toward him to pick him up.Yes, to those of you asking, those are socks on Derricks hands. If I remember correctly I layered five pairs to ensure his fingers would stay warm. I couldn't find the mittens that Mary wore her first year in the snow. Actually, I think they are attached to her coat - so socks were the solution either way.

Mary also loved playing "Queen of the Snow Hill". She climbed all of the piles near our apartment and had me take pictures.




Mary decided she would help daddy by shoveling too. Then she realized it's tough work shoveling snow, so she took take a break.

Me too. I still wish we could have gone sledding with you, but after seeing how Derrick was just out front our apt. it is most likely a good thing we didn't.

Yeah, probably a good thing.
