Snow?

So, I was at the point where I was close to being ready for Christmas. We finished the Nutcracker on Wednesday and that was enough craziness in itself. So I figured that I would finish what I needed to finish on Thursday while the kids were in school. My last chance to get things finished WITHOUT children. Friday would be out, not only because it is a short day, but the last day before Christmas break (the parties, programs, etc.) So back to Thursday, actually Wednesday night. It had been snowing through the evening. The last performance ends and backstage all the girls are squealing because they are all getting texted that school is cancelled for Thursday because of the snow. (No, not because we have just a few inches, but our buses aren't equipped to drive in the snow) We leave the venue and snow everywhere! It's 10:00 at night and we see people out building snowmen and having snowball fights. We get home and there was a message from Craig's teacher confirming what we had heard. Crazy! No school, because of snow! The kids were so excited! So, when it snows, what do you do? You make snow angels,



have a snowball fight,



and build a snowhorse! At least my children did. Yes, they have been in snow before. Kylee tried to show Craig how to get the snow into ball form for a snowman, but he was content with his mound of snow that eventually was mountable! I have to admit, waking up to snow was fun! I am just glad it's not everyday. The kids, they loved it! But maybe next time we'll be more prepared! We live in hoodies and might have a pair of mittens! Snow boots? What are those? We didn't stay out too long. In fact, after about 30 minutes in the snow Craig was nowhere to be found. Well, we did find him, taking a nice hot bath! Silly boy!
