We had an unexpected dusting of snow today and the kids have LOVED it! We have been outside twice to play in the snow. It's the first time Henry has been big enough to really play in the snow, so that has been fun to watch. I don't think he's all that crazy about it, but he did seem to have some fun.
I have to say, this was the first snow where we've had snow bibs for the kiddos. They are a must from here on out! They made snow play SO much easier. Previously, the kids would bundle up, head out, and immediately get soaked from the snow. This would result in many trips outside, and many clothing changes.
Today, with the bibs on, their clothes did not get wet underneath hardly at all! It was great! Once they were ready to go out a second time, we put the bibs back on and they were good to go. They really tested them too, because they made snow angels and spent a good bit of time laying in the snow.
I will make sure we have bibs from here on out. We actually didn't buy any bibs, they were all (thankfully) given to us as hand-me-downs. Carson and Henry's are like brand new. Emmy's are a little worn because I'm pretty sure they went through all four of my youngest sisters. The straps were broke, but they are tied and work fine. For as much as it snows here, it's not a big deal at all.
I will have to keep my eye out for snow bibs on clearance and at consignment/goodwill. I'm sure we'll get more hand-me-downs too. For my sanity, they are a must!
Now if I can get decent waterproof gloves for the kids.....
