School was cancelled Wednesday, the 6th as nearly 6 inches of snow were laid overnight. It is GORGEOUS outside, a wet snow that coated the branches. A true winter wonderland. But as I am 2 days away from having this baby, the kids don't care how I feel, and are ready to play.
Talk about a work out. Try bundling up 2 small children in snow gear, when you can barely lean over to put on your own shoes. Then add on shoving myself into snow pants, a waterproof jacket, and boots. I'm beat and we aren't even outside yet.
The next adventure entails pulling the kids in a wagon down the street to the field behind the neighbors house. Then carrying Austin, uphill, through the huge field of 6 inches of fresh fallen snow. Out of breath, sweating, and ready to give birth. Ha!
Luckily Faith and Christian were in tow to carry the sleds, as well as sled down the hill with the kids. Austin seems to enjoy eating the snow more than playing in it, but I remember doing the same thing as a kid. He lasted about 20 minutes before he was cold and asking for me to trek him back home for lunch. I easily obliged, while ashlyn stayed behind with the big kids to play.
Enjoying the gorgeous snow, for the rest of the day, inside.....in pajamas!
And there is no better way to enjoy snowy days then with a fire, and playing games with daddy. Ahh!
