First Snow Day!!!

Katelyn came into my room sometime around 4:00 in the morning (Bad Habit, I know) Camden snuck in sometime after Mark left for work and when we woke up around 7:45. It was nice waking up late with both my babies snuggled up in bed with me! The first thing I told them to do was to go and look out the window. You should have seen their faces!! They were so excited as this is the first good snow we have had this winter!! They wanted to go out immediately, but I told them we needed to wait until it warmed up a bit!

I actually had a lot planned for our snow day today.... I was hoping that we wouldn't have school. I even stayed up late and cleaned the house so I could spend the entire day with the kids and not have to worry about anything around the house. I hate getting phone calls before 6:00, but the phone call that says school is canceled is always welcomed!!!

We started the day off with a wonderful breakfast which included all our favorites: Camden loves scrambled eggs, Katelyn loves sausage, and I love French Toast!! YUM!!!!

Next, we broke out the tent! Camden and Katelyn both love to "camp out" in our living room! They were playing so well together. I love it when they get along!!!

Next on the list of snow day activities: Chocolate Chip Cookies!! We used my favorite this time: Dark Chocolate Chips!! Oh these cookies are just amazing!!!

I held the kids off in playing outside until 2:00. I thought that was an accomplishment in itself!! I could hold them off no longer, so we all bundled up and headed out in the snow. I was curious how Kate would react this year since she was NOT a fan at all last year. This year, she LOVED the stuff! She was so bundled up, that I don't think she could feel a thing from her head to her toe. The snow was not very wet, so Camden's dream of making Dreamsy (snowman) come back to life faded fast, but we had plenty of fun making snow balls and snow angels. Katelyn loved to eat the snow. I think she liked the way it felt on her tongue. Before I knew it, we had been outside for an hour and a half! We were so bundled up, we didn't get cold at all! We had a terrific first snow day together!!

Camden's friend George came over to get Camden when he saw him outside in the yard. They had a really good time playing in the snow together!! With Camden playing with George, Katelyn got my undivided attention, which doesn't happen very often! She loved going down the slide with all the snow on it. It didn't matter how many times she would go down, she would just laugh and laugh!! I did have to help her up the ladder every time. She had mittens on and she couldn't quite get he hang of putting her thumbs in the thumb holes, so she had no use of her hands. It was kind funny trying to watch her shovel and climb up the ladder without being able to use her hands.

I love this little grin on her face!! When you look back on your children's lives, this is the face I will remember her making!! It's kinda sneaky, sweet, and obnoxious all in one!! I love you Katelyn!!!

Our Macy girl loved playing in the snow too!!
