First big snow

I woke up this morning to four gloriously beautiful inches of snow on the ground.  It was so beautiful.  It helped to know that I didn't have to go anywhere so I could just stay inside and look out my window.  Tyler was so excited to see all the snow and he wanted to play in it first thing.  I told him he had to wait until it got warmer.

Once I got Josh down for his nap, Tyler and I went outside to play in the snow.  Of course it took five minutes to get all his snow clothes on...then he said he had to go pee.  Luckily we bought him the snow pants and not the snow suit, so it wasn't too bad to take him to the bathroom.  The first thing Tyler did when we went outside was make a snow angle.  It was pretty cute to see him so happy in the snow.  He loved picking it up and throwing it at me - no real surprise there.  He really does love the snow and it was so much fun to play outside with him in it for a while.

Tonight I got to go to dinner with a friend of mine from my ward.  Tony was so nice to not only stay home and watch our boys, but he watched my friends little girl too.  It was nice to get out of the house.  I have needed a break for a while.  I realized that I hadn't left the house without the children except to do my visit teaching since I lost my job.  Pretty lame.

We need to be better about having date nights and getting out.  Tony's mom is going to watch the boys for us Friday morning so that we can go to the temple.  It has been a long time since we have gone...shame on us for sure.  Any who...fun snow...fun dinner...generally a fun day.
