I was informed yesterday afternoon that we were going out to play. Now. Because the snow doesn't last here, Mommy! It'll be gone in just a little while. Must go out. Now. So, out we went--two wee little bundles of coats, boots, hats and mittens and me. To climb, to roll around, to play. To eat snow. Just not the yellow bits, please.
Then, imagine their uncontainable joy to wake up this morning
to lots and lots of SNOW.
Once again--gathered coats, hats, boots and mittens.
This time I had re-enforcements since Daddy had already taken the day off.

But for some reason...she just didn't enjoy being out there today. Maybe because the snow was up to her waist? And already wearing boots too big making it difficult to walk. That was fine. Mommy would much rather enjoy
the snow from the warm indoors looking out.

My eldest offspring, on the other hand, cared nothing for the fact that his butt was cold or that he could most likely no longer feel his extremities.

A pause for a mitten fix.
Somehow I doubt that the garbage truck will be making it's way down our street
at some point today. Especially since it was announced that the entire county
government was closed.

Snow day! We did not get as much as it looks like you did. Enjoy your day with hubby off.
That looks so beautiful. We had some this year (unusually0 and I know what you mean about the children wanting to go STRAIGHT out to play!! I like it for a few days, but then can't wait to get back to normal!!
ahhh, lovely!
Ha! This is quite normal in my neck of the woods. Though nothing closes unless it gets REALLY, REALLY deep. It must be very fun to get snow when you don't usually have it to play in. I always have and cannot imagine the thrill that it must be for kids without. It is a thrill for kids around here that are used to it. Enjoy!
We had snow here in the U.K. recently - about what? 4 inches?
The entire country closed down as usual. Don't ya just love snow!
Great Blog... added to my list!
