Snow, snow, snow!

With the first measurable snow of the season, there was no way I was going to be able to keep Luca inside. Luckily, he was okay with being outside by himself until Tessa fell asleep and didn't seem to mind the cold.

Shoveling 6's on the patio

Finally Tessa fell asleep and I could bundle up and go help him shovel. Not that he needed it. He even found a convenient place to dump the shovel. In the middle of the fire pit frame on the patio. He's a good helper, he told me so.

He took a shovelful of snow over to the swingset and tried to climb the ladder with it. It did not work out well. So he just climbed the ladder and brushed all the snow off with his hands. I tried to build a snow man but it was not good packing snow. I did manage a little one though. He wanted to bring out the sandcastle molds, so the snowman also got a castle.

When Josh got home they played in the snow some more. He taught Luca how to make a snow angel and Luca taught him how to make a snowman. Neither one needed any help learning how to throw the snow at each other ;) When I was little I remember jumping off the Eagle's Nest into big piles of snow. Think maybe I should hold off on teaching that one to Luca... Maybe put a mound of snow at the bottom of the slide!
