First Snow of 2011

We woke up to about 2-3 inches of snow this morning! And since daycare was closed and Jarrod was told to show up at work with a bag packed for 7 days, I got to stay home with Stratton today. I thought he might sleep late like he did over christmas. . .nope. He was ready to go at 6:45am. He played and ate breakfast and about 9am he started saying "nite-nite" so I laid him down and he slept for about 45 minutes- no long enough!! He was a mess today! My house looks like a tornado has went through it! He did really enjoy playing in the dog kennel we let Sadey sleep in it, in the house last night since it was so cold.

He thought the snow was something else! I kept most of the window blinds up and he kept going to the windows saying "oohh!" or "wow, snow!"

About 2pm he started really wanted to go out. He kept saying "SIDE!". It didn't help that all the neighborhoods kids were playing out in it and he could see them! I didn't really want to get him out in it, since he already has a cold, so we patiently (ha-ha) waited for Jarrod to get home. . .

He got home about 4pm and we went out for about 10 minutes. Stratton didn't know what to think at first. He didn't really act like he liked it, but when it was time to come in he didn't want to go!! He wouldn't keep his gloves on so he little hands were freezing!

He liked walking the streets, just not in the snow!

Going to check the mail before coming in.

And obviously, Jarrod didn't have to go anywhere this time! I was not looking forward to him being gone all week!
