Snowday!





























Ok, I must say the best perks of being a stay at home mom is snowdays & not having to be somewhere like work and being able to stay at home and enjoy it with your kids! I love days like these every now and then! I couldn't handle it all the time, but do enjoy the change of scenery every now and then! Just wish Chad was home to enjoy it with us! We've had such a mild season so far, I know its officially not winter for 17 more days, but we need lots more snow, it is SO dry here! I haven't got the kids out for their first snowday outdoors and Bray has been itching to go outside and while I enjoy seeing the snow, I don't enjoy being out in it very long. He says 'no' (meaning snow), its the cutest thing ever!! We all got bundled up, I probably overdid it with them as I swear they had on 4 or 5 layers and couldn't move once I was putting on the final gear as you'll see from the pics! We made it out long enough for me to scoop the driveway and sidewalks and then they were ready to go in. I wish Bryn could walk better 'cause you pretty much have to sit her in the wagon in the garage or on the step because she just can't do what Bray can yet and maybe we would of made it a little longer. Oh and the kids gloves weren't staying on either, so that got frustrating for Bray and we made it about 20 min. outside and then back in to the warm indoors, lunch and much needed naps! The one thing I really don't enjoy is getting all prepped and dressed to go out, my gosh, its a workout! You have the 2 layers of clothes, socks, snowpants, coats, hats, mittens, snowboots and then it seems like your outside for such a little amount of time and then back in, was it worth that much work?!?! :) The things you do for your kiddos to make them happy! Never dreamed I would be able to! All in all, we had a good time outside, maybe next time when Chad is home and Bryn can walk better, we'll build our first snowman!
