Winter Fun

Last year we didn't see very much snow here in Indiana. In fact I think we got two small dustings and that was about it. This year though we currently have about 8 inches out there (we've had a lot of drifting though so some spots has just a little and others have 2 feet). Norah doesn't seem to be too fond of the cold (or maybe it's the bundling up she doesn't like) so we went out today during her nap to make a snowman. Sadly the snow is very dry and not good packing snow at all so our snowman plan failed a bit. We resorted to mini snowmen :) They are less than 6 inches tall. 

I also thought it might be a good idea to make a snow angel. I'd just like to remind you that I am almost 9 months pregnant. I got stuck. I had to call out to the husband who was shoveling some snow at the end of our long driveway to come help me up. He was being a fuddy dud and didn't want to make a snow angel. 

Norah did join in on the fun a few days ago, even though it wasn't her favorite.

We live pretty close to Indianapolis and while some people might think it is neat to be so close to the Superbowl, I am sick of it. It is the only thing we have heard on the news for the last month or so and I'm going to be so glad when it is over. Maybe that makes me sound like a party pooper, but I just would like to hear about something else.


It was incredibly warm on Wednesday and we were able to get outside and take a few pictures (including the one I posted for Wordless Wednesday). It was almost 60 degrees out which is crazy for the start of February. It's great that we were able to get outside after my posting about not getting to get outside :)

Here are a few of the pictures I was able to take:

I want to go outside!

In Florida loved getting to go lay at the beach in February if we wanted or walking at Disney's Boardwalk Resort in November. May-September was plenty hot but at least you COULD go outside if you wanted. I hate how when it's cold (too cold to have the baby out for more than a few moments) you can't be outside. This is my biggest cause of being homesick for Florida. I complain about it often... I know I do. I very much miss Florida. I wouldn't trade being close to family for it, but I miss it a lot.

I bring this up because today is so pretty. I look at our window and it makes me want to go outside and take pictures - then I stepped outside and realized I was nuts. Sometimes it is so deceiving when it is sunny in the winter.

We had to settle for taking some pictures inside today. She's been pretty happy today considering we kept her out pretty late last night going to the basketball game :)
