Not Fans of Solid Precipitation

To be fair, it was 25 degrees and sleeting when we ventured outside this morning. Ben was thrilled for about ten minutes, before deciding it was too cold, and he couldn't even be coaxed into joining some of the neighborhood kids for sledding. Rebecca observed the snow from the safety of the garage for the most part, venturing out onto the snow only briefly. Joel decided to pick her up and carry her, which proved to be a very bad idea. She screamed and thrashed until she was safely in the garage again. She thought Ben's snowball throwing antics were funny, but didn't seem to quite know what to do with the snow herself so she decided to ignore it and play baseball. That was about when I said, uh, why don't we go back inside ;) The kids obliged without hesitation.

Wimpy southern kids! ;-) But they seem very well outfitted for kids who only need clothes like that once or twice a year.

Obviously, Ben USED TO LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS and Becca never did. Hence, his enjoyment and her horror. Gosh, 'it's snowing down South' literally. ( Archaic expression for 'your slip is showing') :)
