Snow Day!

This morning at 6:30 am, the girls awoke and to their happy surprise, there was snow!!! We told them to go look out the window and they were so excited!! They just sat for a half hour looking out the window at the beautiful white blanket covering our front yard!! Of course they were more than ready to go outside for the first snow this year (it didn't snow last year at all!) We fed them some breakfast and proceeded to bundle them up! We entered our 1 inch snowy wonder at around 8:00 am - we lasted 50 minutes!!! Harper loved it from the get go. He liked walking up the driveway - didn't quite care to crunch in the snow that was in the yard. He got into his car and drove around. I pulled the sled out and took Carly down the "mountain" that is beside our house. It is a very short, steep little hill. Carly and Harper enjoyed going whee, Chloe wanted no part. Of course Carly would only go down with me, but oh well, at least she went down. Matt finally grabbed Chloe and made her go down - she cried! We tried making a snowman (he was very little), but the snow wasn't too packy. These kids would definitely not make it in the north!! Thank you Mom for always bundling us up to go outside in the snow!! That was a lot of work putting on all those layers!!

Here we are all bundled up! Harper's little gloves kept falling off, so his hands were extremely cold!

Here is Matt with them! This is the first time he has ever played with his kids in the snow! It was nice having an extra pair of hands to man all the kids. He enjoyed seeing how excited they were. He has always been at work when it snowed!

After Harper went down the hill, I had to walk back up it. Well, he started falling backwards so I just told him to lay down. He very slowly leaned back and just layed there!! He is such a good boy, he just listened and didn't complain one bit!

Here is Harper and Dad enjoying a little snow ball treat!!!
