Snow Day

We had our first Snow Day here in Western Washington. We got maybe 2-2 1/2 inches. In Iowa that was what we called a "dusting". Oh well the kids were excited to not have to go to school. It was 8:15 this morning and they were dressed and ready to hit the backyard. We first had to find the snow tote and see what kind of winter garb we had available. Ayden needs boots, Meysa needs snow pants and Lauryn had everything pink!! Even though Ayden and Meysa were lacking some of the winter wear they still braved the blowing snow. They had a lot of fun for about an hour. I gave them spray bottles with colored water to play with since the snow wasn't the kind to make a snowman. Lauryn came in after about a half hour. Her gloves kept coming off and she was cold. Lauryn looks like a pink marshmellow!!

The kids loved eating the fresh snow!!
Wyatt and I stayed in where it was warm and worked on rolling over. Who knew being four months old was so much work!!!
All ready for some hot chocolate. I love kids' rosy cheeks when they come inside from the cold!!!


Here's to a fun snow day!!!!

Super cute kiddos! We got a skiff of snow last Saturday...not enough to play in, but just enough to make the roads awfully icy. Take care!
