We got 5 inches of snow today! It rarely snows here, and so far we have had 2 days of snow, today and on Dec. 26th. When it snowed on the 26th, that was the 1st time it had snowed in Dec. here since 1877! Last year when we got this much snow in Texas, I gave all my friends with toddlers a hard time for not going out in the snow with them. Well, I was that mom who didn't want to go outside today. Allison has only been walking well for a couple of weeks now. She's now attempting to run and falling down a lot. I just knew if we went outside, she would fall within the 1st minute of being out, and since she doesn't have waterproof clothes, we would have to come in. That would lead to a big tantrum because she loves being outside no matter what the weather is like.
With all that said, I was a little creative. I filled a bowl with snow and let her play with it in the kitchen. We built a snowman and made apple juice snowcones. Allison enjoyed touching the snow and messing up whatever I made out of it. We did all this fun in the morning. I was planning on doing it all again after her afternoon nap, but by then, the snow falling had turned into freezing rain. There was a thick layer of ice on top of the fun snow, so we just watched Veggietales and read a lot of books.
Hmm, to go outside or not?
