We knew that Adelaida wouldn't stay outside long if she got too cold, so we dressed her in tights, sweat pants, a long-sleeve shirt, a sweat shirt, a thick coat, boots, gloves, and a hat. I think she had more fun getting dressed up than playing out in the snow!
I also made sure Dale was dressed appropriately, and the two were ready to go outside!
My role during this adventure was to take photographs, which I did by stepping outside, taking a few photos, then running back inside to stay warm. The babies were awake, so I laid them down on a blanket while I snapped photos of Adelaida and Dale playing outside. At first Adelaida was happiest in Dale's arms.
Eventually, she ventured onto the snow. Dale took her onto a shallow area so she wouldn't be totally overwhelmed by the snow, and she did great!
I checked on the babies and found Estella pushing Cordelia with her feet. Cordelia didn't seem to mind!
Dale threw a snowball, which Adelaida thought was hilarious!
Dale set Adelaida down on a great big snow drift. Lots of fun!
I checked on the babies and found that Estella had rolled over onto her tummy, and was kicking Cordelia in the face and neck ... and Cordelia didn't seem to mind. I moved Estella so that she wouldn't hurt her sister.
Dale got the sled out.
And they decided to sled down the hill!
I checked on the babies again and found that Cordelia was using Estella's pajamas to roll herself onto Estella. Estella didn't seem to mind.
After the sledding adventure, Adelaida was ready to come back inside to warm up. We spent the rest of the day playing with the kids, completing some tasks around the house, and generally enjoying the snow day. Unfortunately, the roads are being cleared and the snow is slowing down, so it looks like we won't have this great excuse to stay home tomorrow.
