Snow Day!

The kids had a blast in the snow today!!! It started snowing last night and they couldn't wait to get out in it. We let them go out twice before they went to bed. Jaycie was catching snow on her tongue and they just ran around in it. They were so excited that they could not sleep. I think Charis finally fell asleep somewhere around 9:30 and we found Jaycie in her room at 12:30 with the lights on playing!!!! So needless to say, they woke up early this morning all excited but were very cranky and emotional throughout the day! We quickly ate breakfast and then they were off to playing in the snow! Here are some pictures...

This is our snowman that we worked very hard on. I think we used almost all of the snow in our yard for this snowman! The snow was great for making snowmen! Charis did not want to leave the hat and scarf on because she thought that frosty was going to melt! The hat that frosty is wearing is the hat that Charis wore the first half of the day and is the same scarf that I used to wear when I was little.

Here is Charis enjoying the snow!!

Jaycie was so excited about the snow. We did forget to make a snow angel and she remembered at the start of nap time and it was not pretty!!! She was very distraught!! I tried to encourage her by reminding her that we had the best snowman on the street. (Everyone else still has pretty snow covered yards, but we have an awesome snowman!!)


Aiden really liked the snow!! He did not want to go in! He also wanted to play in the street but it was so icy that we wouldn't let him. He didn't like that at all!!!

This was not an easy picture to take!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charis enjoyed walking our neighbor's dog, Fiona, in the snow. Fiona decided to pee in our snow!!! So we stressed the importance of not eating of playing with yellow snow!


Yes, Aiden enjoyed eating the snow but no it is not yellow so he was good!

This was when Aiden first came outside. He loved touching the snow. We got in a huge snowball fight and I used him as my shield (after I neglected him and he wondered into the road!) Phud didn't care though. He continued to pelt me and Aiden with snow. He got us good once and Aiden started crying. After that I was safe! He didn't throw at us anymore.

I LOVE THIS FACE!!! As you can see, he liked it a lot!
