What a surprise to wake up to snow yesterday morning! I was so excited for Patrick to wake up so I could show it to him. All morning he exclaimed Look at the snow! It's so preeeeeetty. He took his stool to almost every window in the house, stood up on it and looked out to get different views of it.
When my mom came over that afternoon we were able to get outside and play in it for a little while. He loooooved the snow. He kept stomping around yelling I love my new boots! They're awesome! For once I was stocked and ready to go with winter gear. I picked up the boots from Old Navy last week during their gigantic sale and the coat came in the mail from babyGap just a few days ago so it worked out perfectly.
The snow has pretty well melted now but it still got me just a little bit excited for Christmas. I've been thinking about how I want to decorate the outside of our house this year and I just want to go nuts. Patrick's at the age where he is awstruck about everything - he would absolutely love to see lights everywhere. I think the kicker would be some icicles along the entire rooftop, but our house is waaaay in the air. I begged Jeffrey to let me rent a crane to put them up - he said yes, as long as it's free. What are the chances of me getting a crane for free? Waaaaa.
If I can't do the icicles then I am dead set on getting some sort of obnoxious Mr. & Mrs. Claus to put out in the front yard. Or maybe a huge blow-up Charlie Brown. Kidding about the blow-up. I hate those things. Actually they're not too bad at night, but during the day you look like you've got 14 random parachutes strewn across your landscaping. Speaking of Christmas lights, it looks like this weekend there is going to be a warm-up in Ohio so you'd better get hanging!
