Lazy Snow Day

All I can think of when I look at this photo is, "who is this kid?"

My baby Reed is long gone.

I can't help but get teary eyed when I think about Reed growing up. Our days of "Help, Mommy!", have been replaced with "No, Momma! I can do it myself!"

Sniff. Sniff. Yesterday, I went into survival mode on our 3rd snow day home. I promised Reed we would get out and build a snowman. Well, 4 o'clock rolled around and Momma was tired. Thankfully, Reed's 'buddy' Champ was willing to step in to help out.

And I present to you: The world's smallest snowman.

Luckily Reed doesn't know the difference.

Blizzard Mania

We woke this morning to the beautiful sunshine and a wind chill of 7 degrees. We watched as Daddy fed the birds who have been hovering near the house trying to get some warmth.
We decided to head out for a snow walk and to blow off some stink.

Sledding was at the top of our list --

and we were so lucky to have a clear driveway thanks to Pop Pop, Daddy and Mom Mom' s round the clock, hard work yesterday.

Pop Pop continued to plow the driveway - sore muscles and all.

We finished up our walk with some 'chocolate soup' - YUM! YUM!
