It's been snowing all week on and off, so as soon as it started I got out Ellis' snow gear. He's worn his snow pants to daycare (without the coat because, "I have dese mommy" indicating his pants). Unfortunately for us the base doesn't close for weather. That means that all of our spare time has been spent in the car getting to and from work, instead of playing in the snow. =( FINALLY today we got off early enough to make it home in time to play in the snow in the daylight. It took a little coaxing to get Ellis into the whole outfit, but he finally complied. Once outside I showed him how to make snowballs and snow angels. We ran into some kids playing and a New Foundland (sp?) being walked. I had to kind of trick Ellis into coming inside for dinner. Now he's snuggled up on the couch warming up with rosy cheeks and cold fingers and toes. Maybe the base will close tomorrow? It's only 6 inches of snow... I'm not counting on it.
