Bronwen actually loved the snow after it stopped coming down from the sky. She cried when I tried to take her back inside, but the gloves she had were just cheap cotton ones, and they did nothing to keep out the cold and wetness of the snow. Her favorite game was scooping up the snow and dropping it on the sidewalk. She wouldn't walk out into it, though, and liked to stay safely on the concrete.
The second video is a little more of the same, with a huge smile at the end because Bronwen spied Leslie and her tiny dachshund Lucy from across the street.

Wow, Who Would Have Thought...
...there'd be SNOW in southern Lousiana?!
I could hardly believe my eyes--they were calling for a "wintry mix" which translates to rain, sleet, and maybe snow showers; obviously stuff melting before it could do anything. So last night when I went to sleep, I wasn't expecting this. TJ stayed home and got Bronwen up. SHe was pretty excited, until we brought her out into the stuff. Then...not so much. I think it was because these huge, fluffy flakes were falling on her face, cold and wet!
Here she is, venturing out into the snow for the first time. She usually will put on her hat, but today she was having none of it, as you can tell. Note to self: no hat attempts before breakfast.
We did get the hat on her, but the saturation point had been reached. We decided to enjoy the snow from the inside instead! So now Bronwen and T.J. are coloring away and the snow, sadly, has already turned into rain. It was nice while it lasted!
Happier pictures to come!

Helping?
Background:
I always do laundry in Bronwen's room. I bring in the load of clothes from the dryer and drop them on her floor. There she usually jumps around in it, "sorts it" or helps me unfold whatever I've folded. Fun times. If it comes directly out of the dryer after the cycle, it's hot--and I shake out the clothes in the air before I fold them. I think that is what she is trying to do here. Sadly, she chose all the clothes from her drawers--that were already folded.

Finally!
What Bronwen did over Thanksgiving week:
Build an addition on to Mimi and DjaDja's house in Shelby:
Move dirt from here:
To here:
as you can see, she moved a lot of dirt.
Play in a wagon:
Eat! (It was Thanksgiving, so there was copious amounts of this going on)
Learn about safety:
Color with my Aunt Jana, make silly faces, and learn that Uncle Pete loves beer
Play piano with Daddy
Have a slumber party with the girls (Thanks for the matching PJs Mimi!)
Cuddle:
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We all did!

The Shame!
It is December, and I haven't posted since the middle of November. Unbelievable! Bronwen has not been sitting in a corner doing nothing, I assure you. We had an exciting Thanksgiving--I will post pictures soon!
