Snow Day!

We woke up Monday morning to snow on the ground! This was especially a treat because we usually don't get snow before Christmas, and because the one time we got snow last year, Amanda and I were out of town, so she didn't get to enjoy it.

It was cold, but we scrounged up some snow clothes and headed outside after breakfast. It was so cold and the snow was so dry, we couldn't even make a snowball! But we made snow angels and played around, and just enjoyed the snow. We then went back inside to defrost and have some hot cocoa!

We ventured outside again after lunch - it was warming up enough that the snow was a little wetter and heavier, and we were able to make a very sad looking snowman! (See Lisa's blog for a picture.)

We did end up missing a couple of days of school... and then we woke up to snow again Friday morning and missed another day. It can be a challenge to entertain 2 little ones when you're stuck at home, but we were creative and messy and had a great time! I just love the peace and quiet that comes with new snow!!

It's not always easy to find ways to entertain the kids when we're stuck at home, but I do I love the way everything is so peaceful and quiet when it snows...
