Snow Day 2011

Like everyone else in the city of Rock Hill, the Bailey’s may be snowed in but that hasn’t stopped us from tackling the outdoors!

From the first sight of snow this morning, Charlie was ready to play outside! After a very thorough search of the house, we discovered we have lost 1 snow boot which created a slight problem for our morning! Never Fear- Ziploc bags saved the day!

After an hour of clothing preparations, we all 5 headed outside!

Thanks to dear ol’ dad, we headed to a the wonderful hill outside our door for some snow fun! Being the poor snow planners we are, we had no sled for our children to enjoy. However, thanks to my painting fetishes, we had plenty of paint trays which did just as good!

Here Charlie gets the first introduction to his “sled”!

And pretty soon, this bunch was off!

Wylie, bless her heart, was not as successful. She made it about 2 feet before calling it quits!

And then… a small and minute snow disaster occurred! Bess just wants to eat the snow, and being since she already had been forced to give up her boots for an attractive pair of crocs wrapped in Ziploc Bags, we let her eat until her heart was content.

But bending over on a hill covered in snow probably doesn’t lead to many good things. Especially if you are a wobbly toddler in Ziploc Bags as shoes!

I know I am horrible for even snapping this photo! Bless her heart! But, it was a wee bit comical!

Despite this being the end of snow fun for Bess, the rest of the crew has continued to play!

Daddy taught Charlie how to slide down the hill and then taught Wylie how to throw snowball!

We have all enjoyed ourselves outside today! And what better way to top off our snow fun then to have Charlie walk in the front door after our playtime , comment on how his tummy hurt and then, low and behold, throw up on the rug at the door! Either it was too much fun or we potentially could be beginning a stomach bug at the Bailey house! I pray it was the fun!

And now, all our tucked warmly inside their beds for N-A-P time!
