First snow of the season! The kids were very excited. But I realized we were a little short on the right gear. So Foster had on 2 thin jackets and Katie’s wearing my gloves and Theodore had on a hat that was too small before he protested and just wore his hood. Winter just snuck up on me I guess. But, that’s ok, either way you go out, you get wet and cold and you have a blast. Then you come in and strip down and get all warmed up again. At which point children forget how wet and cold they just were and want to go through the process all over again!
Katie and Theodore checking out one of daddy’s deer. Katie loves wearing her “camo” and says that when she turns 5 she’ll get to go hunting with daddy, too. We’ll see how she does with that…I know I for one couldn’t be a good hunter because of the weather, getting up so early, packing all that stuff, having to pee in the woods, and the list goes on. But if she wants to be a hunter with her daddy, then great for her. My husband’s cousin just married a great girl this past summer who loves to hunt. So there are some of them out there, I’m just not one of them!My husband, though, is a passionate hunter. I am sure that’s why Foster and even Katie are so enthralled with hunting. I think it’s great for children to see their parents have a love for a hobby or past time. It role models for them the commitment, sacrifice, planning and creativity that someone can harness if they are truly interested in something.
It shows them that if you enjoy the fun of something in life, you must also put in the effort to make that happen.

Yay for food in the freezer! Your kids are so cute.
