Thursday we had a for real SNOW day! Not a fake snow day where it's really just frozen ice everywhere, but a real, fluffy white, powdery snow day! It was exciting to see for once. The weathermen predicted a significant amount of snow and, though I was doubtful, they were right!
View of our front porch and front steps. If you look closely, you can see the snowman from my front door buried down there.
Our back porch - I loved the way the snow settled on our herringbone bricks!
Snowflakes stuck to our window!
Snow built up on our windowsill.
After thirty minutes of rounding up coats and gloves and boots and hats, we managed to all get outside. Please don't mistake my excitement over the snow day to mean anyone was excited about playing in the snow. Thomas obviously was too little to care and Katie Wynn was too terrified to be put down in it. I was just excited for us all to spend the day together!
The kids were so bundled up I'm not sure that they could actually move.
We stood at the edge of the garage and used our new selfie stick to take pictures with all of us in it. What would we have done without the selfie stick?? (Please note the bow on T's gloves...he had to borrow some from Sister.)
Lolli was not so sure about all the snow. She hesitated before following us out into it.
We walked out into the yard but like I said earlier, Katie Wynn had no desire to touch the snow.
More selfie stick photos!
And that was it for this family and the snow! We rushed inside to get warm.
I had watched this video a while ago and since we were stuck at home with nowhere to go, I decided to give those curls a try! Here are before, during, and after photos of my 'do. And I am horrible at selfies. Overall I suppose it worked...I definitely had curls! Some pieces did better than others though...maybe it would look better after more practice.
Katie Wynn turned her gloves into socks.
I took these pictures while she was talking to Lala and Poppa on facetime. I love her little profile!
I made a batch of sugar cookie dough while Katie Wynn napped, so when she woke up it was ready to be rolled out and cut with cookie cutters. She loved it and was a great little helper!
It is so hard for little people to understand that cookies have to be cooked and then cool before we can decorate them!
When it was finally time, I spread the icing ("glue") and then she did the colored sugar ("glitter"). It was all worth the crunchy, sugary mess I had to clean up!
We made a full batch of colorful hearts, stars, airplanes, and of course, snowmen!
After dinner (and dessert!) we all sat by the fire before bath time. We tried out the selfie stick one more time!
Little Miss "I Do It!" begged to use the selfie stick herself and it didn't take her long to figure it out. She's way too young for this, right?
Now that we've had our one real snow day, it's A-ok for spring to come. I think we're all sick of this cold weather!
