Leap Day Snow!

Happy Leap Day! We were pleasantly surprised by actually getting some snow today! About time too! Other than October's crazy storm and a few inches at the beginning of January, we haven't had any! I can't believe we barely had a foot of snow fall before today!

The snow today wasn't as great as it could have been. It was wet and heavy and followed by rain and ice. Gavin and I made the best of it before it changed over from snow though. We spent a long time outside (at least an hour, probably longer). I pulled him around on his toboggan, built a small snow man, made snow angels, threw Gavin in some snow piles.

 I even cleared some snow from the bottom of the driveway so that Gavin would have an easier time walking around. He manages to get around okay but he still has some trouble getting tripped up when there is too much snow to walk through. He seemed to appreciate that. We pulled out his truck and I tried to push him around in that. He was not happy when that didn't work out. His boots kept dragging on the ground and made it impossible to go anywhere. By then, it was about time to head in to warm up anyway.

We went back out when Scott got home to help him clear the rest of the driveway. Gavin was so excited to see the snow blower in action (even though it wasn't all that necessary to run). We stayed out and played for a bit until we needed to head in so I could finish up dinner (Split Pea Soup and breadsticks - it was delicious and perfect weather for it). If the rain doesn't completely ruin the snow we will definitely be heading back out tomorrow! Who knows if we will get any more snow this season, we need to enjoy what little we are getting!
