Snow Day

Well, here we are in all of our Southern snow glory. As you can see by the pictures we honestly got some snow. Rose took the yard stick out and measured 3 inches in most parts of the yard. We even had a little snow drift of 9 inches. I know, I know pretty impressive.


The girls started the snow dance on Friday night...and even were playing on the back deck that night making snow balls and just enjoying the cold stuff. So, early Saturday morning we were greeted with a beautiful blanket of snow. By 9:30 we were out the door, fully geared up, and with homemade pancakes in our bellies. This was Evie's first and only adventure outside. I didn't have my camera so true to third child form there were no pictures of her bundled up and face planting in the snow. Because of the last action her snow "playtime" was very short.
But, Rose and Lily are the total troopers... out at 9:30, in for hot coco, out at 11:30 for serious sledding with Daddy, in for lunch, out at 3:00 for some poor sledding with Mommy, and finally back in at 6:00. They wanted to go back out around 9:00pm, but Jack put the cabash on that.







Check out Jack helping out the mail carrier. Our road was a sheet of ice and with the stopping and starting on the hill we were so worried that the mail man motto would be put to shame. So, out comes Jack to save the day!





This picture show how icy the roads were on Saturday. This was part of the 3:00- 5:00 sledding adventure.










Of course my children have to take sledding to a more extreme, dangerous level by standing on the sled. Believe it or not those little ones have an excellent center of balance!











And here are the snow bunnies themselves. As you can see they have no problem hamming it up for the camera. Lily and her friend Ada Grace loved, loved, loved eating the snow! Hysterical. What a fun weekend for the girls. They truly had such joy being children... and so didn't he parents.
