Reuniting with snow

Penelope doesn't remember the snow from last year. She saw it a couple of weeks ago, and she played in the snow at school so I thought she'd love an afternoon outside after the fresh snow we got during Thanksgiving break. It took a little bit of time...
She was mainly horrified by snow covering all of her outdoor toys. The car behind her also had a big chunk of ice I wasn't able to chip off the seat. This catastrophe requires full tears and screaming.

She'd like me to stop photographing her while she screamed. Is that bad parenting?
She then got very gloomy...


...until she got in her swing. Then things turned out okay.
She quickly learned that we could pick up the snow dad was shoveling off the driveway and throw it back onto his shovel.

I think hiding behind our little garden fence is the equivalent of a 2 year old snow fort.

Such trauma!!!!! But with the sun out it always gets better!!! LOVE her coat!!!! Glad she was only throwing the snow back in the shovel and not at Mom and Dad! :-) Can't wait to see a snowman......

Ha ha it's not bad parenting. Some of my favorite pictures of Collin are when he's screaming his head off. They make me laugh everytime because it's usually a big fit over something very small. Which makes me laugh.

I can't believe how big she's getting!

Such a little drama queen. That snow was the most horrific thing in the world - until it was fun!

This just made my day. I see the same reaction about a lot of things that happen at work.
