We had our first snow day and here's how it went:
Last night before bed it started snowing.
This morning we had 3-4 inches covering everything and even more here and there.
Samantha and Ella were SUPER excited and gulped down their breakfast so they could head outside.
Adorned in blanket sleepers, (they will have to change when they get back in anyway, so why not stay nice and cozy in the meantime) snowsuits, boots, mittens, hats, and winter coats they scurry out.
I grabbed the camera and snapped a few shots before I headed back inside because I am a boring mom who HATES being cold.
I get all snuggled back in my bed armed with my snow pictures for a facebook share (oh and my amazon shopping cart on another page doing some Christmas shopping)
Knock, knock, "Mommy...Mommmmmy?"
I get out of my cozy bed and open the back door...BRRRRrrrrr!
"Mommy I got the wrong gloves. These is cold and wet. I need mittens like Ella."
I trapse down to the basement so my darling Samantha can have warm hands like her sister.
She goes back out and I head back to my warm comfy bed.
"Mommy, Mommy, MOMMMMMMY!"
I sadly, once again crawl out from under the warmth and head to the freeeeeeezing cold. (The girls were warned in the beginning that if they came in even one time they would be done, so they are being so good just standing at the back door yelling for me lol)
"Mommy, we have a carrot for our snowman?" They are soooo cute! Truly!
I pack a baggy with a pickle (fresh out of carrots...), olives for eyes, and raisins for a mouth. "There you go sweetie, now off with you."
Do I dare even set back on the bed? Oh yes, it is just too inviting...
"MMMMMOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMYYY!!" I should say that in all of this calling me, there is never an urgency in the tone.
Sigh..., "Yes, Samantha?" Of course it is Samantha. It is ALWAYS Samantha. Let's just say that she's the squeaky wheel.
"Mommy, you help me build the snowman? I can't get his eyes to stay on, or his nose and mouth."
"Yes, honey. Let me get my boots and coat."
We finished our snowman and then the girls decided they were cold and wanted to come inside.
All in all I think they played out in the snow about 45 minutes. It's a good thing I didn't help them sooner or it may have only been 15 minutes. LOL
