SNOW much fun! (as in our ONE snow day!)

Saturday Morning: 6:45 a.m. - the last one of the 3 mini munchkins has climbed into bed with me (us.) Corey gets up early everyday and so I decide to be SUPER sweet and get up with the monkeys to let him sleep and, lo and behold, WE HAVE SNOW (finally!) The boys saw and were as excited as I was.

7:10 a.m. we head out into a winter wonderland.

It actually was pretty dark out still, but beautiful and barely snowing.
I bundled up the boys good. PJs, another pair of fleece footie PJs, sweatpants and sweatshirt, coat, hat, hood and gloves. We were all toasty roasty!
I think the coolest thing to them was EATING SNOW!
Gabe loves it!
Gavin loves it!
Grant loves it too, even straight off the tree!
Must be tasty, or just FUN!
We had a quick chat about yellow and brown snow, "No bueno ~ Don't eat it! That means it might have potty or poop on/in it."
**I was quickly chastised for using "potty talk" not in the bathroom.**


We talked about what we wanted to do and they decided that we should walk to the park and play on the equipment in the snow.
"Good Idea Mom!"
We ran, played, slipped, stomped, slid, and swung ALL IN THE SNOW all having a BLAST!
The Merry-Go-Round was the only one I couldn't manage in the snow. It was slick and HEAVY! Don't worry through, they just ate some snow off of it or made snowballs with the snow on it!
" Watch out Mom, here comes a snowball!" Gabe loved throwing snowballs!
Grant being... CUTE!
Gavin being silly, making us laugh. That kid is such a GOOF! Gavin LOVED his new gloves and hat. He was so proud of them.
Our neighbors' tree fell in our yard. A perfect snow fort for the boys.
They loved finding shelter. Of course it was from PIRATES.
More snow for Grant.... :)
"Can you see me?" "Could Capt. Hook see me?"
"Mom!!!" SPLAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That would be my camera lense. Not a happy mom and a sheepish looking Gabe.
Alright, party's over. Time for cocoa and some oatmeal!
The tree house in the snow.

Hopefully we will see you in another 9 months snow, it was fun! Until then, Ciao!!! Bring on the sun!
** Do you still love playing in the snow with your kids?**
**Are you shocked by the amount of coats, clothes, socks and gloves it takes?**
