It started snowing last night (Tuesday the 21st) and the kids were so excited! Caleb was running from the front window to the back deck saying "Look..it is snowing on both sides of our house!". We let them put their coats and boots on top of their PJs and go outside to play for a little while.
Its snowing!!! So exciting!!!
Look at how big the flakes were - it was so pretty and came down so fast!
We scraped up some snow in a pot and headed in to make some snow cream.
You just never know how long the snow is going to last around here so you have to make the most of it while it is snowing. :)
Caleb and Ella on the counter ready to try it out!
I asked them how it was and Caleb had his mouth full so he gave me the thumbs up. Ella was trying to get her thumb up :)
Happy Boy!
We finally got them in bed after 9:00. Caleb woke me up at 4:30 am this morning to tell me the snow was still here and ask if he could play. I told him we had to wait until it was light outside! We got up early, ate breakfast and were outside playing by 8:00 this morning.
All bundled up in the kitchen ready to go play outside!

So much snow!
My little snow bunny - she was all mismatched but we wore what we had that was warm and waterproof!
Caleb making a "snow kid" as he called it
Ella's turn - she didn't lay still long enough to do a good one!
Look at all the snow he had in his hand
Ready to go sledding!
We needed daddy home to help with this - they wore me out!
Caleb wanted to check on daddy's lawnmower
Ella wanted to slide
We then headed out on a walk around the neighborhood
Ella rode the sled while we walked and ate snow off her gloves.

Happy boy wanting to sled again!
Caleb brought these icicles in but he kept calling them "frickles"
All the wet clothes when we came in - the worst part of a snow day!
After two hours of playing in the snow and 3 batches of snow cream, we headed to town so I could work a little while and get everything set up for church tonight.
Then we came home, made one more batch of snow cream before it all melts away and cuddled up to watch a movie.
What a fun snow day!
