icy dayz

yesterday was a snow day, today is an icy day; and i mean ice!!!  yesterday the snow was powdery and easy to walk in, but today was a disaster because freezing rain came down last night.  there is an inch of ice on top of all of the snow on the ground.  jay and i ventured out in it today anyway.  he enjoyed it and maybe more than yesterday when it was the fluffy white stuff.  we would slip and slide and both fell down in the middle of the road and as i was getting up heard him say "let's do it again".  that's my boy.  never gets hurt and always wants to do it again.  jay would walk around the porch in the back picking up big ice sheets and throwing them to the ground and watch them hit and shatter.  he would say "that's a big one".  nothing outside can get jay down and he wants to go out again this afternoon.  sorry no pictures because the camera is dead.  you can enjoy the ones from yesterday.  they look the same except jay had red pants on today.

oh and how to dress a two year old in the snow.  i keep hearing we don't have anything to go out in the snow.  jay is probably the most well dressed kid on the planet in the snow.  After the snow after Christmas, we had gone out shopping to return a couple of things.  we stopped into children's place and garrett and jay found a pair of boats.  we bought them way too big so he can wear them next year.  the rest of the clothes we had.  we layered jay in a pair of sweatpants that we stuffed in his boats with a pair of windpants over top.  on the top half of his body he has a long sleeve thermal, shortsleeve t-shirt of some sort, a hoodie and a puffy jacket.  on his head we put his most favorite carolina hat with both hoods.  and of course we can't forget the gloves or "mittens" as he calls them.  he's all decked out and ready to play in the snow or ice.  he could play for hours like this.

i think i'm over these snow days.  we are suppose to be starting exams and my first one is to be an eoc for my algebra II honors folks.  yikes!!  they will probably do well, but i need one more review day to make sure they are ready.  i'm afraid we will be out tomorrow again, i hope not because we already have two make up days to do already.  that's a bummer, but i'm had some great days with jay and yesterday with garrett as well.
