snow rat

Max is a snow rat. You know, like a pool rat, but in the snow. He could play outside in the snow all day long if we let him. We have to watch his cheeks carefully and when they go from red to white we make him come in to take a break! His snow pants, coat, gloves, hat, and scarf were in the dryer 4 times last weekend alone.

He'll do anything outside...ski, sled, shovel, build forts, igloos, bridges, have snow ball fights, etc. You name it, he has done it. And, because of the kind of winter we have had thus far, he has done it all in the last week! Lucky for us, we have some neighbor kids who also love to be outside so they entertain him for hours on end.

Last weekend Chris ran out of things for him to do, so he asked him to help shovel the deck! Here are a few pictures from the dynamic shoveling duo:)






Mya also loves to be out, but in smaller doses. Her reason for coming in is usually because the snow is too deep!



Ivy....well, she just sits and watches me dress and undress her brother and sister while looking pretty cute:)

Cute pics! We have been outside playing the past few days in t-shirts! I do miss snow sometimes though (and after a few minutes, that thought passes!)

Tell Max I'm glad someone likes winter!! Strange to see so much snow in Iowa when us Minnesotans have almost none!

I love that Max is a snow rat. That's awesome. He'd love Denver this year, we've had so much snow.
