More No-No

Yes, I realize that it is already the second week in April, but perhaps Mother Nature didn't get the memo. Last night, it snowed again. In fact, we have had more snow in the last two weeks than we have had since we moved here in January. From what I understand, that is how spring works here. Lots of wet no-no. Are these considered April showers? Do we still get May flowers? I guess we will have to just wait and see!

Since we got more snow, and this could be the last good snow for the season, I figured that Quin and I should venture out into it and play for a bit. So we did!
Quin has gotten much better at walking in his big, clunky, heavy snow boots. As usual, the highlight of playing in the snow for Quin is the fact that he gets to eat it. He seems to have a mild obsession with eating cold things. Not only does he love to eat snow, but he also loves ice. Getting dressed is still a bit of a production, although he has figured out that if he sits still and lets me dress him, he gets to go play. He actually did really well at leaving his gloves on today. That is usually our biggest struggle when playing outside. Today, the hardest part was coming inside. Poor Quin didn't want the cold, wet fun to come to an end. After 45 minutes of playing in the snow, it was time to come in and warm up. We shared a cup of hot chocolate (which was more like lukewarm water with a hint of chocolate that we had to drink through a straw) and we were then both ready for a nap, although only one of us actually got to take one.
