A week ago this last Thursday, we woke up to a surprise snow! We had a couple of inches and the boys were overjoyed! Kale wanted to go out and build a snowman. I bundled them all up and they headed outside. Of course, they didn't last long since we don't have the right gear. Kale fell down in the snow, which of course, made him wet and he was done! They made it a whooping 10 minutes in the snow!!
We also received a few inches this Tuesday night. You would not believe the schools and businesses around here. It didn't start snowing on Tuesday until 5 p.m., yet schools were out all day long in preparation for the snow. The kids then had the REST of the week off because of snow! I mean, we maybe got 2 inches and roads were completely clear after the first day. It was pretty insane if you ask me.
I did take the boys out sledding, which they enjoyed. I dressed them up better for sledding...they each wore 2 shirts and 2 pants, 3 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of gloves, coats, hats, and scarfs. I wanted to make sure they lasted longer than 10 minutes this time! We never made that snow man though. Kris said the snow was too cold...which really didn't make much sense to me, but I can honestly say I have never made a snowman in my life. I am kinda like Kale, if I get cold and wet, I am ready to go inside.
The boys had to warm their bums by the fire when we came inside.
I have had to be REALLY creative to come up with things to do since we have been inside non-stop and pre-k has also been cancelled. We had a movie and popcorn morning one day.
We have spent lots of time playing with playdough (which my boys could do for hours). We have also painted, colored, and stickered and almost every available piece of paper in the house.
We have gone to the Children's Museum, went for playdates at friends' houses, jumped at Monkey Joe's, gone to the library...I am basically out of ideas. I hope the weather warms up soon so we can get outside! This southern girl can't take these cold temps much longer!
