Snow Day(s)

Seattle has been dumped on! This is the first time Lars and Odin have really experienced snow, and it has been so much fun! I'm a true Seattlite and usually HATE the white stuff and the hassle it causes around here, but experiencing it through the eyes of two curious and fun-loving little boys makes it highly enjoyable. Grandma Cheryl and Grandpa Ralph made sure Odin and Lars had proper snow gear and so we've been able to get out and enjoy it several times over that last couple of days. This morning Lars even brought his snow boots to us to communicate that he wanted to go out and play...it was easy to oblige!

We have a tight knit neighborhood and we have all been enjoying the snow days, yesterday Tor stayed home with the boys while they napped and I went on a walk/ sledding/ coffee outing with 9 of our neighbors and we ended up having an impromptu pot luck dinner at our house. The boys went to bed just fine with lots of people over. Today we went to a different neighbor's house for another neighborhood gathering with hot chocolate chip cookies and coffee. We love our neighbors!

It's been a really enjoyable couple of days.  Much better than snow days before kids!

All suited up, let's get out there!

Odin says, "hey, there is white stuff stuck to my mittens!"

Check this out Papa!

Scooping snow is lots of fun!

We had so much fun!

Whew, having this much fun is hard work!

Checking for snow pack-ability, not good for making a snowman 

Tasting snow.  Lars liked it, Odin didn't.

Lars' current 'signature smile' for the camera

Odin really wanted to help Papa clean off the stairs

This is too much fun!

Red berries, green leaves, white snow

Hey, this 3T hat fits okay right?

Snack time!
