Boys,Today we had some fun in the snow! It had snowed a few days ago, but not as much as it did today. The morning started with a bit of some panic because Jonathan, you hit your head off of the box shelves that hold your toys. The sad part about it was that you slipped and hit your head when you were chasing Daddy into the kitchen. Your cut did bleed quite a bit, before settling down. Daddy took a picture of it and asked some friends on Facebook whether or not we should take you to the Hospital for stitches.
Grandma also came over to check out your cut to give her opinion about it. Across the board people said that we shouldn't take you because it wasn't that bad and that we should just tend to it on the home front. Daddy was glad that it wasn't as bad as he thought because that meant we didn't have to go out in the snow storm and take a chance driving on the roads, but if we did have to then that's what we would have done because nothing is going to stop your Mommy and Daddy from making sure you're okay. At the end of the day you're a little boy and this is what happens to little boys. Daddy is just going to have to find a better way of dealing with things, but he still remembers when your brother Benjamin hurt his eyebrow on the entertainment center and we spent the night in the ER. Not something we want to do again any time soon! Too stressful! 
So, once we knew you were going to be okay we decided to get bundled up so we could venture outside and into the snow! You both got to wear your new CARS snow boots that Mommy got for you! Last year it snowed quite a bit, but Jonathan you were still too small to play and Benjamin you didn't really play outside in the snow either so today was a first for the two of you. Jonathan you didn't really know how to balance yourself in the snow, and with these new boots weighing you down you didn't have a chance to run through it all and kick your feet around. Instead you spent the majority of the time sitting down in the snow licking the snow off of your gloves. 
Benjamin you slapped the snow around, kicked the snow around and even at one point took the shovel and tried to shovel some snow yourself. It was almost like the broom inside of the house when you take the broom and want to help sweep and clean, instead this wasn't dust and dirt it was nice fluffy snow! As we were playing outside the snow continued to come down and within seconds the porch was covered in a sheet of snow again. The walkway Daddy had shoveled up was covered up as well. The snow kept coming down and coming down as we continued playing.
Daddy laid down in the snow and made a snow angel! Benjamin you thought this was very funny, but when Mommy laid you down in the snow to make one of your own you quickly jumped up and didn't want anything to do with the snow angel! Mommy and Daddy wanted to get a picture of the two of you together in the snow so Daddy put you Jonathan down near the tree. We knew that you wouldn't get up not only because you couldn't, but because you were just having a blast sitting down eating snow from your gloves anyway. Benjamin, you on the other hand when Mommy sat you down you wanted to jump right up, but the problem was the snow wasn't as light in the area we placed you so instead of getting up you got stuck! You sat down and kept trying to get to your feet, but all you kept saying was "I'm stuck! I'm stuck!", we did manage to get a few photos, but one after the other the two of you took turns looking at the camera while the other looked away.
When it was time to go inside Benjamin you didn't want anything to do with this. You started to cry because you wanted to stay outside in the snow and continue playing, but we had to come in for some nice warm soup for lunch! There should be at least a few more snow days left in the year before Spring time so it wasn't that bad to come in! Daddy is sure the snow will be out there tomorrow anyway so we can always go back out and play tomorrow. We all had a very good day today playing in the snow and spending time with one another in the house. The two of you are sleeping now, Jonathan you refused to nap earlier so right now you're out like a light! Benjamin, I believe you're actually still awake talking up a storm in there. Earlier tonight you said "I Love Daddy" for the first time! Daddy is very proud of the both of you!
Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow,
Daddy
