A Whole Lotta White Stuff

Granted- it snowed back on Sunday- it's been 4 days since the storm- and there is STILL a whole lotta snow!

I would have posted sooner- but I've been workin' the day shift all week as Daddy stays home with the kiddos on "vacation"- he got to do things like grocery shopping, house cleaning, and carousel field trips this week- while I was at the hospital doing groups.  The other day as we were doing bedtime I said "so- would you say you are more tired after a day at the office, or after a day home with these 2?"- we both agreed- hands down- being home is WAY more tiring!

The day after we (and the entire east coast) got hit with the storm- we decided to venture out into the wintry white backyard- hoping the kids would play as we shoveled out the 2 houses. 


 Little did I know I would have to resort to this....

 
yes- that's right- leftover Halloween candy- to even get out of the house.

Oh- and the rubber band you see in the first shot- that's all part of the outfit- it goes around the cuffs of his mittens so he can't pull them off- and it really works!

After much bribery- I got him outside.

Where he would only walk in the shoveled paths:(, while fussing and carrying on.  Needless to say- not a whole lot was accomplished while Mr.Moses was outside...maybe next year it'll be a little easier?

Zella on the other hand was all-about the snow!

I am REALLY looking forward to 3 days in a row of family time- with no plans in sight!

Happy New Year everyone!
