Winter: Indoors and Out

I enjoy winter, particularly when snow is abundant! This year we haven't had as much as I like, but it is enough to enjoy.

This was some very wet snow...it stuck to the trees like crazy. We had a few limbs break, but nothing big. Maybe we'll have less pruning to do in the spring?


The Walgreens is completely obscured by the snow covered branches. This makes me want to have snow for the entire winter. Too bad that I am not in charge.


While it is fun going out in the snow to play, it does have some drawbacks. It can take 20-30 minutes to wrangle all the snow gear onto Amedeo.

I wish I had come up with this idea on my own...bringing snow indoors is a good compromise. Amedeo wanted to play in the snow at 5pm, when I wanted to start dinner. Instead, we brought some inside, he could play, and I could make dinner.


Very little gear is required....just some mittens!



I hope the temps don't melt the snow too fast. Amedeo loved this activity!

I am so copying the snow inside activity tonight! Great idea!

I've heard about bringing the snow inside before, but I always forget about it. My least favorite part of winter and snow is bundling up Jillian. I swear I'm sweating by the time we go outside!
