Tickle-time with Daddy....

Snow Play

After our 2nd Nor'easter storm, the official region-wide lock down (a.k.a. State of Emergency), and our son's steadily increasing cabin-fever, we all decided that maybe some snow-time would be in order. Unfortunately for us, it was absolutely frigid outside so we didn't get a lot of outside time in, but we fit in what we could. We did just enough to take a little bit of the edge off of Christopher's hyperactivity to keep him reeled for the remainder of the day. We were going to go back outside again the next day, but it was still frigid. We asked Christopher, who again had a heightened level of energy, if he wanted to go outside. He replied,"Nooooooo. Cooooooooold." So we opted to get him dressed and go to the local mall play area in the morning before it got over-populated with kids. That ended up being the best idea we've ever had as parents (to this point). He played for about an hour-and-a-half and ended up being very manageable for the remainder of the Nor'easter lock down. Below are some photographic memories of Christopher playing in the snow.

Not a fan of the mittens, but forgot once he got outside


Throwing snowballs....the first thing Daddy taught him to do with snow


our special needs snowman....I was trying to build one in a hurry because he was very cold and wanting to go inside. So we got a little one put up in about 5 minutes and called it a day.

Its Been A While

Sorry for those of you who follow this blog (all 6 of you!)...things have been crazy here so I haven't had much time to keep the blog updated. We've been getting pelted by Nor'easter storms over the last 3 weeks (4 to count thus far) which have dumped over 40 inches of snow on our fair land. School has upped its demands on my work-load, and work has taken a lot out of me...Spring semester is beginning to run away with me and I'm finding myself struggling to keep up. So, I've included on this post pictures from our 2nd Nor'easter storm....There will be a "Mass Updating" going down here, too...so get ready!!
