Did you know that it takes about twenty minutes to dress a pair of twins in snowsuits, coats, gloves (one refused), hats and boots? Yup. And then you have to say a little prayer to the Powers That Be that neither twin decides, once they are fully dressed, that they suddenly need a diaper change.
So, 20 minutes after my fantastic! idea to take them outside into the snow to mess around for a bit, I popped them onto the deck. The snow came up to their knees. They stood there and stared.
Dis stuff iz code.They were stuck. I had to kick a pathway in the snow for them, in order to get them down into the yard. Then they stopped and stared again. Then, overloaded by hats, gloves, boots, snowsuits and coats, they fell over one by one, like toddler sized dominoes.
Seriously unhappy snow covered, dominoes.
"Hep me!"Logan refused to wear gloves, so of course, he started screaming about his cold-pained hands.
"Aaaaaaiieeeeeee!"Yes, I photographed them screaming in the snow. Why? Because after 20 minutes of wrestling toddlers into snowsuits I'd better get something out of this than just soggy, screamy toddlers!
Now that it's been a few days and the snow is melting, the twins like it a lot better. Puddles are clearly meant to be jumped in. Puddles are fun.
Snow isn't. At least, not yet.
Maybe next year.

Tell Logan - "No gloves, no going outside."
Ah, let him learn the lesson the hard way.
Of course you have to take the pictures before helping them up. :)
I think I remember the boys not being so pleased either at first. Now they are all over it.
I can't tell you how hard I laughed, reading this entry.
