We had a snow day today! Honestly, there really wasn’t that much snow (maybe 2 feet by the end of the day) but it was incredibly blustery and the wind was whipping it around everywhere. It also snowed all.day.long. Both kids were super excited we got to stay home in our jammies!

We started the morning with blueberry pancakes and eggs (and bedhead).

Then played with legos for a bit.

The kids were most excited to play outside!

Even Jack got in on the action. Poor fat house cat was not thrilled. He does look a bit like a wild beastie here though :)

It’s been such a warm, weird fall this year and we still have a lot of trees with leaves on them! Love our little apple tree.

This is the first winter I actually let the kids play outside (in the back) by themselves. Let me tell you it was wonderful :) I didn’t get much done since I was checking on them out the window every 2 minutes, but it definitely beat being out there the whole time…putting gloves back on and picking up toddlers who kept falling down crying in the snow. They played outside for over an hour in the morning and then went out again with Andy before dinner.

Best part of playing outside in the snow is the hot cocoa afterwards!

All snuggled up in quilts, watching movies!

After dinner we made snow cream too.

Cassidy was licking some off her shirt :)

If we’re being honest the day wasn’t perfect. It was filled with whining, complaining and bickering children. I also got peed on :-P But thankful I get to hang out with them on snow days and I *almost* feel like getting into the holiday spirit now.
