It’s a Sno Go

I took the girls out in the snow for the first time yesterday.  I had avoided a snow excursion up until this point; I just couldn’t figure out the logistics of handling two bundled-up children on our very sloped and and very slippery yard by myself.  I had also figured that if the girls took after me at all, about two minutes in the cold wet stuff would be sufficient. 

I saw my father-in-law outside plowing yesterday and figured he could help me to keep the girls from sliding down the driveway, so I stuffed them into their snowsuits and carried them down the stairs and outside.

It turns out I was right – the girls take after me.  We all reached our snow saturation point in about two minutes!

Becky (on right): “I can’t put my arms down!”

Susie: “Mom, I think the snow ate my foot.”

Susie: “This is what we’re supposed to get excited about?”

Becky: “Hmm…do you think snow is edible?”

Becky (on right): “Why didn’t anyone tell me that snow is slippery?”
