Let it Snow!

At approximately 11 pm on Monday night we received the anticipated phone call that school was indeed canceled for Makenna.  As all the surrounding schools were closing, we went to bed not knowing if Rylan would have preschool (their schools are in different districts) but with almost certainty we were sure to wake up and find out that his school was also closed.   And sure enough it was a universal snow day!  Yea!!  We were excited to spend the day together with no where to go and only fun things to do.

 The snow didn't start coming down until after 9 am but once it started it didn't stop for about 12 hours yielding us a total of 8.5 inches of white fluffy magic dust.  The kids took it all in and went out to play several times during the day.  While we were inside we played board games, colored pictures and watched the movie The Lorax (Rylan's current fave!).  

 Rylan's favorite thing to do when outside is to eat the snow.  He takes a big handful and brings it right up to his mouth, eating it like it's the best thing in the world.

 After Scott finished working for the day, he headed out to shovel our driveway and play with the kids a bit. By this time I had enough of the snow so I was glad to just run out and take a few pictures and run back in before my toes got cold.

And at the end of the day, a new snowman was built.

A delightful fun day but now that we have had our snow fun, it's time for Spring, ok mother nature?
