Playing in the Snow

Jack finally played in the snow tonight after much convincing from Doug and me. I really think that he thought we were crazy suggesting that we go play in the snow. He didn't seem to believe that people would do that and that it would be fun. But I showed him pictures of him playing in it last year and I think that helped convince him that it really isn't weird to go out in the snow. But he still kept saying that only Doug and I should go out. But once Doug went out and started shoveling it he wanted to go out too. He loved being out there and wanted to go out again after dinner.Doug trying to make a snowman... with a shovel.

He kept falling since the snow was pretty deep for his little legs. He couldn't get up when he'd fall. We told him he should lay down but he wouldn't. He just kept saying "help!"

His favorite part was making snowballs and throwing them... but that didn't really surprise me. Playing catch is one of his favorite things to do.

I gave him the great idea of shooting the snowball. That kept him occupied for awhile.

While Jack was busy playing Doug was still working on his snowman (except when he had to help Jack get up when he fell.) I've never seen anyone try to make a snowman like this.... and it didn't work very well; he decided to make a little mountain out of it instead.

He made it to the top!

Doug's turn!

Jordan was sleeping through most of it. When he woke up I showed him Doug and Jackson outside. He kept looking at them then turning around confused. I think he was thinking he was really seeing their reflections and was really confused that they weren't behind him. Then he just sat by the door watching them probably wanting to join them.
