We finally got snow!!!!

We woke up this morning to approximately 6 inches of snow!
Our first actual accumulation of the year!
Our patio furniture...
Parker was so excited to have a snow day and couldn't wait to go outside and play in the snow.

He quickly discovered the snow was too powdery to build a snowman and so he played with the neighbor kids for quite a while. Some time later, I heard a knock on the garage door and opened it to find a crying 6 year old boy that was very cold...He said he feet were so cold they were burning! I quickly got him out of his wet clothes and had him lay by the fireplace to warm his feet. (What a mess those wet clothes are! Now I know why my mom didn't like for Jeff and I to play outside in the snow!) A warm bath quickly helped those frozen piggies and he was as good as new! I think we need to invest in some good snow boots before we let him go outside and play in the snow again!
It's sleeting here right now and we're supposed to get more snow tonight, so there's a chance that school will be cancelled again tomorrow! I'm scheduled to work tomorrow so they'll be with Grandma Sheila! :o)

We're diaper free...Yipee!

I didn't want to post this too soon because I didn't want to jinx us, but after six years I think we are finally diaper free! (Doing Angie's happy dance right now!) Peyton decided a couple of weeks ago that he wanted to wear big boy undies! He got some in his stocking, we tried pull ups for a few days and he did really well! He was having trouble going poo in the potty and kept saying he didn't know how! I decided to try the big boy undies and figured he would either poop his pants or constipate himself! It took him a couple of days and I think he's finally figured it out! We're still using pull-ups at night and he cries every time he has to put them on! I can't believe after 6 years of carrying a diaper bag every where we went, I can actually carry a purse again! I'm sooooo glad to be out of the baby stage, never again to return either!!! :) Now if I can just get him to tell me when he needs wiped!!! Tonight he went poo in the potty, didn't wipe himself and didn't tell me until a few minutes later. So...we had a little mess in the undies department! :(

Yeah for Peyton, we're so proud of you!!

Acting like his daddy...
