Brrr... Cold!

Mason loves looking outside at the snow.  He talks to the snow piles and you can just see that he is wishing to be out there!  However, the outdoor winter experience is not long lived.  He gets cold fast and then struggles between wanting to be outside and wanting to be warm...  thats when the whining sets in!

A creative thought struck me upside the brain.  Bring some snow inside!  Sounds messy I know...but its keeping him occupied.  I'm sure when he is done I will be occupied for awhile cleaning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

The smiles are worth it though.  He is learning that warm water means warm hands....but no snow!  :)  lol

Fresh snow and sprinkles

Yumm!!  Looks like ice cream.

Does it taste like ice cream? " I think not!!!!!"
says Mason as he shakes his head and shutters.

Warming the hands with a trickle of warm water...watching the snow slowly go down the drain.
