Winter Wonderland

We got about 3-4 inches of snow here on Tuesday and the kids were so excited. We have had snow a couple of times this winter (very odd for central Texas) but nothing like this. The kids couldn't wait until there was enough snow outside to play in it, but once there was and I let them out to play they didn't want to stop. They have been asking for snow and have wanted us to visit their grandparents in Utah to play in the snow. When Sam saw outside that it was snowing he jumped up and down yelling "Mom it does snow in Texas."

The boys went out twice during the day for a very long time each time and then out with Dad again when he got home. They made this snowman together ( I made one earlier for them but they just knocked that one down.)
The boys throwing snow at Dad. This was their favorite thing to do, they kept throwing snow at everyone and everything they saw, they couldn't get enough throwing. Well, that is until Sam got snow down his back which he didn't like at all and started to cry, he got over it and kept playing.

The boys wanted to go out in the snow again today but the snow was basically ice and it wasn't much fun to play with. Now the snow is pretty much gone, it was short lived but the boys had a blast.

I thought I would also include a pregnancy picture for those who don't see me too often, I never documented how big I was getting with my first pregnancy so I guess this is a good thing to do. I feel a lot smaller this time around, I am about 27 weeks in this picture.
The boys have also really enjoyed watching the Olympics. Their favorites so far have been speed skating, ski jumping, and the bobsled. We have been cheering on the US and Finland of course. We were watching the team nordic combined when Finland was winning so we pulled out our flags and our laplander hats and cheered until they sadly lost. Oh well, it was fun watching the boys run around yelling "Go Finland!"
