My life with boys: career day/snow day

Wednesday was career day at Cale's preschool. He was to wear something that reflects what he wants to be when he grows up. Not surprisingly, he was a policeman. Like most three years old, he wants to follow in his daddy's footsteps (hopefully he'll change his mind as he gets older!). GramPat made this shirt a few years ago out of some of Papa's and daddy's old uniforms. It is just like the real deal only smaller. Cale loves to wear it.

We were excited to see that Cale wasn't the only aspiring policeman. This is Cale and his friend Cole. I love that they were holding hands in this pic!

The boys were out of school yesterday and today (they love snow days). We had ice and sleet most of the day yesterday and it snowed all day today. It was so beautiful to watch come down.

Playing in it was pretty fun too. We wanted to make a snowman, but the snow just wasn't the "packing" kind. I couldn't even get a good snowball out of it. Even still, Darren and I managed to get each other pretty well covered in snow just by kicking it at each other. Fun times!

The boys had lots of fun outside (Connor was playing on the other side of the house and I was trying my best to keep Cale off the ice so I didn't get many pics of Connor...plus, his eyes were covered in all the ones I did get). Cale and Coby made lots of snow angels and thought "ice skating" (while wearing slippery rain boots nonetheless) was fun even though they kept falling down. I was worried sick that one of them was going to break a bone or get a concussion. I may have to make them wear their bicycle helmets out there next time if they keep insisting on staying on the ice rather than the snow. BOYS!!!!

We had fun outside, but most of the day was spent inside....
