Since yesterday afternoon we started hearing about schools and businesses closing for today because the weather forecast said 2-4 inches of snow in our area! By 10pm last night, our county closed its schools and NCSU would be running on a delay (which ended up closing). The boys knew that they would go to bed with rain and wake up to snow. I probably shouldn't have said that! Gavin was up at 6:30am and Ian was up at 6:40am! That is NOT normal for them!!!!
I wanted to wait until 8am to be nice to the neighbors before heading outside. Well, I think I was just as excited as the boys. So, we were outside before 8am and played for about 1 1/2 hours! Do the boys have real snow gear? No. They had their LL Bean rain boots from Aunt Sandi and I figured that was better than their sneakers!!! Ian sported a Timberland hat and gloves and Gavin wore his Patriots hat and mittens.
We go outside through our back door. Gavin opens it up and yells, "Holy Macaroni!!!" It was hilarious!!! Ian goes bolting by him and lands in the snow and makes a snow angel. Gavin says, "Ian, what are you doing?????" hahahahahaha This is Gavin's first snow experience that he probably remembers! Last time he had to be in the stroller!!! Well, Ian told him what he was doing and Gavin dropped to the ground and made one, too.
Later we headed out front and decided to shovel the driveway. That's right...no snow shovel! I used another shovel of somesort and started. Gavin and Ian grabbed their sand shovels for the park and their buckets and helped me that way!!!!
It's pretty funny about this snow with Ian and Gavin. Cailean and I grew up in VT and lived in the snow for years. Ian and Gavin...it's a new experience for them!!!!!!!
Today the boys and I are watching all the happenings in Washington DC. They are actually into it!!!
Enjoy the slideshow!!!
