Snow day...........................

So we were hit by the big snowstorm and all these kids wanted to do was play outside. I am really not a big fan of the cold weather, but hey, it WAS a snow day.

So, we then start the long process of getting ready to go outside. Snowpants, boots, hats, gloves, coats, chapstick, etc.....it must have taken us 45 minutes to get out the door! It actually took Mark quite awhile to shovel us out, we couldn't even open the front door at first!

Finally, the path is cleared and out we go!




For some reason these crazy kids kept "diving" into the snow! I was freezing just watching them, but they were all having a ball!






After about a total of 15 minutes or so, everyone decided they were too cold to stay outside and in we headed! OK, that worked for me! ;) Then we began the long process of getting out of our wet, snowy clothes...........probably another half hour til everyone was changed into dry clothes.

Now as I sit here hours later, still freezing, I must admit that the time spent getting ready and getting changed afterwards was so worth the smiles on their faces and the giggles that came out of their mouths.

But seriously folks, can anyone tell me how many more days until spring arrives? ;)
