We got snow a few weeks ago. It was awesome! We were so excited, we even went out after dinner one night to go sledding in the dark, just in case something changed and the snow was gone by morning. Thankfully it wasn't.
Of course, this experience with snow gave us the reality check that we are very ill prepared for snow. Just like the rest of the South that was crippled with a couple of inches of white stuff, we had very little of the necessary items to handle going out in the snow. We have 3 full sized surfboards taking up space in our garage, but when it comes to gloves or snow boots, we are significantly lacking. Nothing waterproof for long exposure to wet snow.
Yet we have wonderful neighbors. And those wonderful neighbors are from up north where they get snow often. So shortly after breakfast, they came by bearing snow suits for both girls. Amazing! And I have to say that the pink snowsuit looks absolutely adorable when it completely enveloped her.
And she loved the snow. She didn't even seem to care when her little fingers turned red and cold (don't worry, we cared), she just wanted to keep playing. So cute!
I will say though, that changing a diaper when a baby is wearing a snowsuit is not an easy task. You pretty much have to take the suit completely off of them in order to access the diaper. I guess it's a good thing they don't make snow suits like that for older potty-training children or they might not make it to the bathroom in time.
