When I woke up this morning to snow, I knew it would be a great day to get some outside snow pictures with CD. It wasn't unbearably cold and the snow was coming straight down in big flakes. I realized my camera was in my car (which was with H) so I left CD with my mom to brave the roads to go get the camera. When I got to my mom's, CD was NOT cooperating. He did not want to put his snow boots on and was throwing a hissy fit. I was basically forcing him to... because I really wanted to get some pictures. Mom of the year, eh? I knew he'd have fun once he got out in the snow. After about 30 minutes of whining, time outs, crying, ripping socks and boots on and off, we got him ready to go out into the snow. I was so excited because he was finally enjoying the snow and big juicy flakes were falling from the sky.... perfect for pictures. I clicked my camera on, and ....


the battery was dead. And I had no spare battery :( Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.


I did have my handy-dandy iPhone though... so at least I was able to capture the fun, even if it wasn't like I was hoping.

Finally happy after the series of meltdowns before coming outside.

Chillin' with his little snowman we made. The snowman was his little buddy. He squatted there by him for quite a while and they chatted it up. I looked down and CD held up 2 fingers to the snowman and said - "Two." I said, "Did he ask how old you are?" CD said, "Yeah!" lol.

"Two" is his automatic response to any question from a stranger.

What's your name? Two.

How are you? Two.

How old are you? Two.

Two outta three.

And a close up of the little ugly snowman. We were limited on resources for his mouth. He looks skeptical.
