snow boots

Yesterday we woke up to a pretty half-inch of snow.  I was surprised when Bo looked out the window and said, "Snow!"  

He was really pumped about his snow boots.  At first he didn't realize snow was for playing in; he was content just to wear his snow boots and sit by the window, looking at the snow.  

But I figured this snow wouldn't last all day so we suited up over his PJs for a few minutes outside:

It was a cooooold morning and Bo liked trying to see his breath. 

I know people talk about the south and their aversion to snow all the time but I was shocked to see that school was canceled for a literal half inch of snow.  As you can see in the pics above, it didn't stick to the sidewalks or roads.  Certainly the bridges could've been icy... but the snow was totally gone by 11am.  Certainly a change from New York when it would snow a foot and I was terrified to drive but life proceeded as normal.  Bo loved those snow boots and insisted on wearing them all he live long day.

This morning we woke to a treat of a heavier snow that did stick to the roads . . . perfect for a Saturday morning.

By 9am we were sledding with the cousins.  Bo wasn't loving the thrill of flying down the hill but his daredevil cousins will help him get over that I'm sure.
