Snow Days

This entry was going to be Snow Day...as in singular...but adding the "s" is much more appropriate since every day in upstate NY from November 1 - (I'm assuming) around April is a snow day. Here are a few pictures of our house/neighborhood during the first few days of snow. I stopped photograhing after day 3 because, well, the snow still looked the same. We finally had a sunny day today. Frigid...but sunny....so we took Jackson out in his newly acquired winter clothing (thanks, aunt Cady, for the bibs and boots!!). He reminded me EXACTLY of the little kid from "A Christmas Story" because his mobility, when fully dressed, was quite limited. He did enjoy the snow while Matt and I stood by shivering. The cold temps don't seem to affect him like they do us. Soon we'll be making igloos and snowmen.

Can you see Mojito??

This was Jackson's first Halloween where he was actually able to participate (he was too small for a costume last year). We decided the the only appropriate costume, being as he was born on "Elvis Day" and we're here from Memphis, was Elvis. We opted for the later Elvis because Jackson has the belly to pull it off. He had a costume party at school where the kids got all hopped up on cupcakes, apple cider and sugar cookies. We didn't go trick-or-treating, but Jackson stayed in costume at home to help hand out candy.
