Of course I wanted it to snow because it is a rarity these days. But honestly, I wanted it to snow because I think Charlie's heart would have truly been crushed if it had not happened! So many times this winter season, Charlie has gone to bed , trying his best to cross his fingers, saying prayers and wishing on a star that it would snow. Each morning, he is disappointed to awake to winter skies yet no snow on the ground!
Thankfully, his Friday night wish came true! And our Sunday quickly became a Snow Fun Day!
While Charlie and I were alone, we decided to suit up and have a wee bit of fun just the 2 of us!
Charlie got his "sled" out of the kitchen cookie sheet drawer! Creative little fella!
And in the blink of an eye, we had sledding success!
Before I could realize what was taking place, I turned around to this site... and clearly, I was nailed 2.2 seconds later! Hearing his little giggle was great though! Sure glad our snow was pretty powdery so it didn't really impact, just went spreading through the air!
What is a snow day without snow angels? This little boy knew just what to do!
From the looks of these pictures, one might assume that these snow memories lasted for hours upon hours. In actuality, the previous events all happened in about a time span of 15 minutes. As quickly as we got outside, Charlie was ready to head back in. And while I was more than willing to make a memory or 2 with the love, there was a couch and fire waiting on me, so he heard no complaints from me!
But, wouldn't you know it, the minute I was inside, had de-layered myself and was about to get comfy, along come the girls who had spent the night out. Yep, you guessed it, first thing I heard as they entered the backdoor, "Can we go play in the snow?". Yet again, I layered myself, layered 4 kids and once again prepared to brave the snow!
The girls were ecstatic !
Thanks to Charlie's reporting, the girls were quite aware of what we had done earlier, so a repeat of "sledding on the pan", snowballs and snow angels were on the agenda.
Crazy girl! Forget moving your arms and legs in the snow! All this one wanted to do was catch the falling snow from the branches above!
I should have figured Ben would have disliked the snow. Wylie and Bess were scared of it too when they were his age. Ben didn't move 2 feet. You could place him on the sidewalk and he would stay right there. He really wasn't too sure about this stuff! And what was I thinking for him in this outfit! The child is warm but bless he is a bit miss matched! Sorry Ben!
But give this kid a front porch and the smiles were beaming bright (from behind his pappy!)
Ben wouldn't agree to a snow angel but he let his Foo Foo make one! If only the Foo Foo's in our house could talk!
As we entered the house, we said goodbye to the snow! I did this for 2 reasons : 1) I had a serious nap time planned and figured the snow would be melted after the kids got up and 2) I bet this snow was our one and only for this winter season! We said our goodbyes and headed into the warmth!
Up next, entertaining 4 little loves all day, inside! Thankfully, we had enough board games to stock a store! Our new personal favorite- Twister! And watch out, Wylie totally rocked at this game!
I am pretty sure I can say Snow Day 2013 easily went down as a success in the eyes of my little loves!
Until the next snowfall...
