Snow Day!

I was COOOLLLDDD and snowy today. Heath wanted to make sure the sidewalks were clear for his MIL and preggo wifey (so sweet). Paisley just stood at the door watching her daddy and waving at him. She doesn't know what to think of all of this snow! It was the cutest sight and when Crosby asked if they could go outside and play it didn't take long to convince me to help them bundle up. After all it is Kansas and we never know how long the snow will stick around!

I was early evening and quite cold but they didn't seem to mind. Even Paisley who normally REFUSES to wear her hat had no problem getting in her snow gear. She just stood and MARVELED at the snow. She absolutely was in awe. She didn't touch the snow and hardly left one spot. It was a very sweet and innocent sight for me to watch her taking in this new wonder. She was VERY sad when it was time to go in. She just cried and cried :(

Crosby LOVES to dig and play in the snow. She was wailing snowballs at everyone in her path including her baby sister! It doesn't take her long to get cold though so she didn't last too long outside (oh darn!) She didn't know what to think about all of the gear she had to wear. I think she likes her new boots but the gloves and coat were off and on the whole time and she HATED her snow suit. She said it rides up on her too much!! haha!

Adler and Dane (next door) had fun shoveling snow at both houses. They stayed outside until after dark and she had to be called in for dinner!

The best part of the day was school cancellation in Belle Plaine for me!! We stayed home and kept warm. The temps were absolutely freezing and I was glad not to have to get out in it. The one downfall to my day was the realization that it is VERY difficult for me to keep up with Paisley. She is the busiest little one I have ever had and being 7 months pregnant makes for a challenge! I was READY for her "dada" to get home and give me some relief! When he walked in I was so happy to see him and I told him I decided it was DEFINITELY easier to teach high schoolers than chase her around all day!

Let it SNOW!!!

Heath took the girls and the dogs out to play in the first snow of the year on Christmas Eve day. They even went to the water tower hill to use the sleds they got last year for Christmas! When they came home they were FROZEN to death!!! That is the reason mom stays home...I don't do cold and snow!! This year I have a baby girl to stay inside with...even better!! I would much rather handle the warming of the children with cocoa and warm jammies when they come home as snow people!!

This was Bruiser's first snow (we got him for christmas last year and hadn't had a good snow since). He absolutely LOVED it! I think his 3 tons of fur sure help him keep nice and warm!
