The first snow day...

Winter has, unofficially, begun. Last week the kids enjoyed their first snow day of the year. They spent lots of time playing outside in the snow.
I spent lots of time looking at them out the window from the warm house. At one point when I opened the window to ask them how things were going Connor said, "The snow is really deep" and Katelyn followed that with, "yeah, it's really cold too!". Yep, they are perceptive kids!

As much as I prefer staying inside I can still remember that feeling of waking up to hear the words, "no school, it's a snow day". The excitement of playing for hours building things, sledding and who knows what else. Then coming in and putting warm, dry clothes on and having hot chocolate.

I think next time I may venture out there with them!
