Snow Day Traditions

I tried to tell them.

“There’s not really enough snow for playing. It’s just a dusting. You can see most of the grass, for goodness sakes!”

“No, Mommy, see?” Carson pointed out the window. “There’s snow all over the driveway!”

Well, they did cancel school.  I guess it wouldn’t have been a real snow day if we hadn’t:

1. Taken 45 minutes to find all the hats, mittens, and boots.

2. Taken another 45 minutes to get dressed in double layers.

3. Made a snow angel in what little snow there was

4. Played for two minutes outside before:
a. Someone needed to pee
b. Someone complained of being freezing cold

5. Came inside and undressed, leaving a pile of wet clothes in a heap on the floor

6. Had hot chocolate:
a. With marshmallows

Truth? I love these days as much as they do.

    My 5yo woke up yesterday morning and insisted we make a snowman. Even though we didn’t get much more snow than you.

    Love it! This was about how much we got in TX where I grew up, if we ever got any, so yes, it was always very exciting as a kid.

    That hot chocolate looks good even though it’s 70 degrees here today… ;)

    That totally made me smile. I love the way kids think. Even a little snow is enough. That’s good stuff, Jennifer.
