Snow Day!

Our area got fairy dumped on last night, and it was just enough to cancel school for everyone in our family. We got up leisurely this morning, watched some cartoons, and enjoyed pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakfast. After more lounging around, a little bit of housework, lunch, and a nap for the baby, we all headed outside to play in the snow. After much bundling and giving thanks for warm snow pants and good boots, we headed out.

Brooklyn was thrilled with her gloves and hat, and the red cherry nose finished off the look quite nicely.
Jeremy got busy building a snow wall.

And Kadon discovered the perfect sledding hill.

He had a wonderful time sledding down
And then hauling the tube back up. After a few minutes, curiosity and a sense of adventure took over, and even Mom got into the act. I went down alone the first time, and then braved it twice with Brooklyn. She had a fabulous time and was begging for more, but by then her jeans were soaked through and so were mine. I left the more appropriately clad boys outside with a neighbor, and came inside to start the sodden clothes in the laundry. Thank goodness for snow days!

If you don't have to drive in it, I love snow and the fun you can have. Were being dumped on right now as I type here in lower Michigan.
