From Baseballs to Snowballs

Spring has sprung in Illinois!  In like a lion, out like a lamb took full meaning this weekend!  Saturday was in the 50's, so Bill took Nolan outside to teach him the basics of baseball.  Nolan enjoyed watching Bill pitch the baseball as he stood there with the bat in his hands ready to swing.  Nolan wanted Bill to hold the bat, so Nolan could pitch the ball to daddy.  What a fun time they had outside!  Nolan doesn't quite have the concept down, but he was having a blast with Bill!

Fast forward to Sunday, this morning we awoke to snowflakes falling.  Even this evening there were still flurries falling on the 6 inches of snow already on the ground.  Nolan and I had a lot of fun out in the snow today.  We built a snowman, went sledding around the yard, made snow angels, and slid down the slide.  What a busy and fun afternoon!!  The snow was perfect for making a snowman!  When I asked Nolan what we wanted to name the snowman he said, "Snowman." How original.

After we finished making "snowman" Nolan wanted to take a ride around the yard on his sled.  I'm not going to lie it was hard work running around pulling him, but after a track was made we zoomed around the yard a lot faster the other times we took a ride.

Nolan went down the slide over and over again.  He loved sliding down and landing in the big pile of snow at the bottom of the slide.  He would yell, "I stuck mama, help me!!"  I think Nolan's favorite part about being outside was eating the snow.  He kept licking everything in sight that had snow on it!
