First Snow of 2012!

To make up for the lack of pictures from the last two weeks (because who wants pictures of everyone lying around being sick) I present to you nearly every second of our outdoor adventure in the first snow of 2012. It feels like victory to get 4 kids dressed for the outdoors in winter and make it for 15 minutes outside ;) maybe it was even 20?

Eliot was confused about the seasons...

Have pitchers and catchers reported yet mama?

oh, to run free after almost 2 weeks of captivity and sickness

just enough snow for fun and small legs to tromp in

and of course snow clump fights (not really balls per se)

Eliot spent alot of time at ground level...

gotcha mama!

here, again, walking in boots is a learned skill

I seemed to be a primary target of snow clumps

but I got a few shots in myself (and photographed them too, so clever)

so forlorn 

comparison

we did it! we all got outdoors!

And in case this wasn't enough photos for you, I present, we all got outdoors 2011 version:
