'Tis the season for snowstorms once again. I started our preparations for a snowy weekend indoors after work on Friday, and then we nestled in Friday evening for or first "snowcation" of the year.
Friday evening we burned our candles in memory of the 20 angels and their teachers who were killed in the Sandy Hook shootings. Their families wanted privacy, but did ask for people to light a candle in honor of their loved ones' last full day of life. God bless them.
By Saturday afternoon Ryan and Evan were begging to go outside. Now, they are not blessed with a mama who's a snow bunny. I'm really not an outside kinda girl, but I couldn't stay in and leave my fellas in the elements by themselves.
I had to see my boy make his first snow angel of the year.
And this one too. He was so happy out there!
And I had to witness my awesome husband shoveling the walkway and driveway of our elderly neighbor. Our boys were in tow helping too. I was so proud of them. These are the lessons that we want to instill in our children.
Ev remembered that he had a shovel at the beach last summer and he wanted it. We managed to find one of them, which caused a little drama with Ryan, but we managed. We always do :)
And yes, I did some shoveling too. See our his and hers shovels?
Until the next storm...I'm sure there will be another before we know it!
