First snow and Daylight savings

McPherson had it's first snow of the year/season on Wednesday which was as fun as it was disappointing. It was nice to see the rain (what little we got) but it was too cold to enjoy. The snow was fun but there wasn't a lot of it either. Hayden even told me he wanted to play in the snow this year. We'll see if he changes his mind once we actually get enough to play in!

The cooler weather has brought in some wind with it. Our house was built in the late seventies and most of the windows are still the originals. One such window is in Hayden's room. Every time the wind blows harder than a light breeze it rattles rather loudly. On Saturday Hayden pretty much put himself to bed (after a small temper tantrum because Brian and Angela asked Olivia to put the cars away and he wasn't done playing yet!) in our bed. About an hour after we all laid down he was ready to go to his own bed but after being in there for five minutes we heard him crying and went to check on him. All he would say was that it wasn't spooky anymore. Jason put him back to bed. Another ten minutes passed and he was knocking on our door asking for help and crying. Again all he would say was that it wasn't spooky any more and went back to bed. The third time he cried and asked for our help I went in there. The wind rattled the window on my way in and he cried harder. Then it stopped and he calmed down in my lap. I asked him what was wrong and again he said it wasn't spooky anymore but that he had a bloody nose. I assured him that his nose was indeed not bleeding. A small discussion about how if he went to sleep it wouldn't be spooky at all and he laid back down and we didn't hear another peep out of him.

Until 2 am that is. We heard him crying again, this time because he was "wet". A few days before this (on a day Jason was working which means Hayden sleeps in my bed) he had woken me up for the same reason. Fortunately he was completely dry and just having a bad time. This time no such luck. Poor daddy had to change his jammies and strip the bed!



He loves his brother!





These are the next morning pics! Tucker had been smiling but of course he stops as soon as I get out the camera! Silly boy!
