So about 3 weeks ago we had a light snow over the weekend and it was pretty cold out so the kids didn't go out and play in it. On that Monday after school, the weather had turned really nice so the kids begged to head out into the back yard to slop around in the left over snow. So we gear up cause it's nice out but really wet and muddy from the uptick in temperature. They are out there having a blast and I'm getting dinner going. I get the food situation to a point where it just needs to sit and simmer, so I think, I'll go change my clothes and maybe get a quick workout in while the kids are playing. I pop out the back door, everyone is fine. My foot hits the first step to get to the upstairs and was immediatly haulted by the worst scream I have ever heard. I race to the back yard to find what looks like a murder scene. Blood everywhere on the white snow and both kids screaming and crying. The blood turned out to be from Mia's nose which was literally squirting out everytime she screamed. As it turns out, Wes was shoveling with his play shovel and couldn't get the snow off the scooper part of it and so he was swinging it around trying to get the snow to fly off when it met Mia's nose. Had that shovel been just a quarter inch further in I seriously think Mia would have lost an eye. Here is a pic from a few days after the incident:
Speaking of brothers, Uncle Brian made his way out to Colorado over Thanksgiving. He and Chris bonded over beer and pool for a few days. Brian also helped us decorate for Christmas and spent time playing with and reading to Wes and Mia. The twins really want Uncle Brian to live at our house now, and Chris says he'll let Brian move in when he can beat him at pool and foosball :)
