snow day!!!

well, we finally had our first day of season in st louis.  as it's already january it's kind of late and apparently everyone forgot how to drive in the snow.  so mommy attempted to go into work early at 6am and proceeded to turn right back around after she saw the highway. 

when i got home, kris went outside to the shovel the driveway and penny kept asking to go out in teh snow.  as far as she knows this is the first time she's every seen snow.  i told her it was too cold and we couldnt go out yet (it was only 7am -barely getting light).

well - i was outsmarted by a 1 year old who kept brining me her snow stuff.  a hat, boots, her coat, her gloves (all the stuff she just saw her daddy put on a few minutes before).

the little lady won and i broke down and got her ready for the snow (keep in mind the process of getting her ready far outlasted the amount of actual time she spent outside).

here are a few photos from penny's first snow adventures

"holy crap - maybe this was a bad idea"

houses look so pretty covered in snow :)
