snow days!

Monday was a snow day! School was closed and I was able to stay home and play outside with my girlies. Laney and Alie tried to play in the snow in their pjs and socks while Carl was shoveling the front walkway...luckily he saw them before they got off of the porch and ushered them back inside. As soon as the girls and I were finished breakfast, we were out back and on our way to the hills. We had the best time having snowball fights and making snow angels. It was a partial bummer that the snow wasn't snowman-making snow, but we had a great time trying!

The girls could have played outside all day long, but I was freezing so I wrangled everyone in after an hour. The hair that was hanging out of Laney's hood was frozen and both of their little cheeks were bright red, but they would have been happy as clams to stay out. We had a tea party with my grandmother's fancy tea cups to keep their mind off of the snow outside. Laney really enjoyed the peach tea. I'm not sure if Alie liked the tea, but she sure loved the idea of a tea party while we listened to princess music (i can't believe how quickly my little girls are growing up!!!). We played outside again in the afternoon and headed to bateman's for wings for dinner because I was soo tired from walking around in the snow, I didn't feel like making dinner.

Yesterday afternoon, since I was working from home, the girls and headed to my parents house for some sledding. They tried to pull each other in my old sled, and it was hysterical to watch. They kept falling over and laughing and I couldn't help but laugh right along with them. We played follow the leader around my parents house and followed different tracks, trails and footprints we had made in the snow.

The snow day was such a treat!
