~*SNOW*~

Mother Nature sure hasn't skimped this month on the typical winter weather. The week after returning from the longest week ever (first back from winter break :) ) we had two snow days in a row because of the inches upon inches of snow. Nothing catastrophic, but just enough! The first snow day was probably the most magical snow day ever. I had the joy of waking Sydney up to tell her we'd be staying home today....because it snowed. The most priceless of expressions came across her face and she said to me: "can I look?" (meaning out her window) She was in awe...."snow is EVERYWHERE Mom! It's on EVERY-SING!" And proceeded to list off all of the things she could see that was covered in snow. I told her we would play in it later on, which of course she interpreted as NOW. :) She did not want to eat pancakes. No yogurt for her. No toast, no cereal...she wanted only to go outside and play in the snow! After awhile I finally convinced her to eat even a little something--applesauce maybe? Then we bundled up and headed out. Ha....as if it's THAT easy. :) Bundling up was quite a process, to which explains why we really haven't been out again to play in the snow. She didn't understand why she needed all that she wore, but the end result was pretty darn cute. Gavin even had a snow suit though he wasn't nearly as excited as his big sister!
And the perfect way to end a snow day.....watching a movie, snuggling with your favorite doll, in your favorite dress, drinking some hot cocoa. :)
