Snow Day

We woke up to bare roads. Not a single flake of snow. All of us were bummed, but we tried to make the best of it and got ready for school. We got breakfast, dressed, teeth brushed, homework in bags, lunches packed, etc. We had noticed that snow was falling but we kept checking the news and hadn't heard that school was canceled. We were getting shoes/boots on to go to school and Ken yelled out that it was posted that school was canceled. The kids were thrilled and instead of running out the front door they ran straight out to the backyard.

Little Miss didn't even get out of her PJs. We told her if she wore her snowman PJs it would snow the next morning. It worked, but now she wants to wear them so it will snow every day!

The kids played outside for 3 1/2 hours. Little Miss was out there for the majority of it too. I kept trying to get her to come in and she refused, "I want to be with the old kids". Leo stayed out the longest, nearly 4 hours. They built snow forts, snowmen, had a snowball fight, sled, played with neighborhood kids. They had a blast.

Huck was so upset when I took him inside. He wanted to play longer, but he was so wobbly with the boots and holding up this much weight was not fun. Yes I know he is wearing pink boots, but at our house you wear the size that is appropriate regardless of the color.

Of course we had to finish off with hot chocolate.
