Snow boots....we got that one covered.

Oooo-weeee snow!!!

The first week in November I headed home to help Mom recover from hip replacement surgery. While visiting we experienced a little precurser to winter. I'd like to think I'm a prepared and careful Mom with Owen, but snow boots is not something I just keep handy in my diaper bag. Thanks to Dad/Grandpa he pulled out the winning combination: plastic baggies, two rubber bands,

viola instant snow boots!

Hmmm, I wonder if we could just use gallon size plastic baggies next time to make boots and snow pants.  

Owen had a great time mashing, eating, throwing, and stomping the snow.  

(Isn't it funny how kids don't care about the hot or cold. I was FREEZING and ready to go inside after about 3 minutes. Owen didn't care one bit, he could have stayed outside all morning).

Thanks Dad for venturing out in the cold with Owen!

And a side note: Owen's feet were nice and dry when we took off the snow boots.
