Playing in the Snow

Sunday morning we woke up to lots of snow.  We thought it would be fun to play in the snow before Robert had to leave for St. Louis.  We bundled Karter up and then remembered we hadn't bought him boots yet.  We took the redneck route and put plastic grocery bags over his slippers, and then tied and rubber-banded the bags.  He sat patiently while we got everything ready and then we took him outside and set him in the snow.  The one thing we didn't think about was how slick those bags would be on the snow.  No way was he going to be able to walk in the snow with plastic bags on his feet, but he stayed dry and warm.  All in all, playing in the wasn't the fun experience we had hoped it would be.  We did build a snowman and get out the sled, but movement in snow clothing is constricted and we will probably be spending most of our winter inside looking out the window.
