…And Then There Was Snow!

I didn’t venture out into the first round of winter snow.  So this time, I dressed in layers and spent a good hour outside trying to capture how beautiful everything was.  Caitlin hadn’t experienced snow yet and I felt really bad about not having a proper snow outfit for her, but she’s only 5 months!  Going into mommy “make it work” mode, I put her in her jammies, layered on a shirt, jeans and socks and then added a sweater with a hoodie to keep the cold air out of those tiny ears.  I didn’t have any gloves, but you better believe this mama will be prepared next year.  Minus the rolling blackouts, all the snow Max tracked inside the house and the two leaks (kitchen and half bath), it was a good day.  Lesson Learned:  Frozen pipes suck.

The sheet of ice is now covered by 4 to 5 inches of snow.

I enjoyed comfort food all day!

Grilled cheese, hot cocoa and a loaded baked potato.

LOL! I love that picture of Max with a snow face. Caitlin didn't look too impressed with all that white stuff ;) I'm going to be prepared next year too!
