Let it SNOW!!!

Caden is in Heaven...it finally snowed at our house!!! He has been telling me for weeks that it doesn't snow at his house. I'm not sure why he thought that but he was convinced of it. However, Wednesday morning (one of my days to sleep in since I don't go to the gym that day) Brady stirred me awake before heading out the door to go to school. He was begging to wake Caden up so he could show him the snow that had fallen during the night. Brady was so excited I just had to let him share his excitment, although I must admit I wasn't completely ready to start my day. After a little coaxing Caden was awake and soooooo very excited, he just couldn't believe it. He wanted to go out and start playing right then and the sun wasn't even up yet. We wern't able to play in it right away because Kamrie had to go to the doctor and things must have been taking too long for Caden because as we walked out of the office he couldn't stand the suspense any longer and he just plopped down in a snowbank by the sidewalk and made a snowangel...it was so funny. When we got home they got all dressed in thier snow clothes and we played outside. We loved it!!! The cold...not my favorite, but they were having so much fun it made it berable. Brady was sad he missed all the fun so after dinner last night he took Caden out again to play. They made a little tiny snowman and threw snowballs at the window so Kamrie and I felt included. As soon as Caden got up this morning around 7:30, he got dressed in his snow clothes again only to find out he had to go to school. He was pretty bumed. On the way there after much contemplation he said, "mommy, I didn't think it can snow at my house but my daddy showed me." It is so fun to share in their excitment.

Kamrie after getting a snowball in the face, not too fun, but she was a real trooper
