Fun in the Snow

Josh and Sydney have been having a good time in the snow! Josh asks me all day every day if he can go outside and play.

They really are like brother and sister. Sydney follows Josh around the yard, and he gets annoyed. He does stuff to harass her too. Mowing the lawn with the two of them around is always a challenge to me because I always have to stop multiple times to get after Sydney for pestering Josh and Josh for pestering Sydney. They are entertaining to watch.

Sydney and Josh had a great wrestling match in the snow. Sydney had Josh pinned and then she kept licking his face.

Then Josh pinned Sydney. As many times as Josh has wrestled her to the ground she has never once even growled at him. She's very good natured to put up with him.

This is a good shot of how deep the snow was after last week's storm. The faucet for the irrigation water was almost buried.

The snow was so deep that Josh kept falling down when he tried to walk in it. Sydney kept bumping into him as she followed him around and kept knocking him down. While I was shoveling the sidewalks, Josh came walking up to me saying, "Mommy, I lost my boot!" With as much snow as we had in the yard I started to panic, thinking I'd never find it until the snow melted but thankfully he remembered where he was when it came off.

Who needs a hill to tube down when you can do it in the front yard!

While we're outside playing in the snow, Connor stays nice and warm bundled up snoozing in his swing with his hair sticking straight up. I keep the baby monitor in my coat pocket so I can hear him when he wakes up and it sure is handy.

Happy warm baby!

He loves munching on his fingers. Every now and then he sticks them in his mouth too far and gags himself.
