No More Snow!

We all thought Snowjam was it for us (and how I wished it was!), but here we are 2 weeks later and we have been hunkered down for the last 3 days. Crazy. First the ice came... and then last night the snow came and it was in and out within hours. We went outside to play at like 9:30 and it looked like this...

 



And literally an hour or so later... it looked like this-

Do you see the wet ground behind them? I have never seen snow melt so quickly! Nicholas was nice enough to let Christopher and Austin sit in his truck. Probably because he knew that they couldn't figure out how to drive it!

Here are a few pictures of our snow day.

Christopher riding on the boogie board. If you remember blog posts from the summer, we used to drag Christopher around on the boogie board in the backyard when he was in his bathing suit!

Our house this morning. It was quite scary listening to the ice and snow fall off the house today.

I would say I was pretty happy when the snow melted away. Christopher enjoyed being pulled around and was throwing snow at Matt and eating it at the beginning. Once everyone came outside though, he kinda shied away from it all. The snow starting melting and walking in the slush and riding in the truck seemed much more appealing. I am so thankful Mom told me to put baggies on his feet. I put socks on him and then sandwich sized baggies and then his tennis shoes. Worked like a charm.

And here are the pictures from the past few weeks!

Just got up from his nap. He needed to bring "Dine" and his blankets down with him. Christopher likes to wake up slowly most days.

Christopher decided he needed his helmet on for playing inside. And then we colored...

and colored and colored...

We had Tuesday off from school for the ice... Well, the ice didn't come til the nighttime but we did get some pretty snow to watch in the morning.

Getting ready to go to bed. I looked over and both of them had their fingers in the mouths.

I got my first toy injury. I was going over to play with Christopher and his new trains and when I sat down my knee went straight into a piece of train track. Definitely hurt and I definitely have a cut on my knee from it.

 

Looking snazzy in his shirt from Uncle! Daddy has almost the same exact shirt. I wonder when they will be twinnies?

Christopher decided that the bowl I gave him for his cranberries just wasn't big enough.

Helping daddy put together his chair.

Well, he likes to color. What can I say? I would never let him do this but the crayon literally wiped right off. He was happy, Matt and I could talk so it was a good dinner out!

Cuddling up for bedtime. I seem to get a lot of pics of Christopher before he goes to bed. He just looks so stinking cute.. and he is actually still.

 

K-cup stealer (video link)

Christopher had just got done taking 4 K-cups and managed to stack them perfectly. They aren't the easiest things to stack. I thought he might do it again so I took a video. He didn't stack them, but I do quite enjoy watching him picking things up and tucking them in to his chest.

 

Christopher's version of a wall climb (video link)

The other night Matt brought Christopher down to the basement while I was working out. I was doing wall climbs and Christopher was watching... I look over tonight and he is doing this repeatedly. Of course I video the one where he topples over all awkwardly. He hasn't figure out how to walk his hands back out quite yet!

 

Kate came to visit last weekend. I can't believe I don't have a single picture of her and Christopher. Christopher was a little put off by Kate being here on Saturday. Matt and I had plans for Saturday morning which left Kate in charge of him and he was fine, but the rest of the day he just kept saying "no, no, no" to her. Thankfully, he changed his attitude on Sunday and was much more loving. I think when I threatened him that she would no longer come back, he got his act together.

We are hoping granddaddy actually makes it in tomorrow. He has a layover in Baltimore where there is tons of snow... but so far his flight is still on!
