it was truly a winter wonderland today! :) we got more than 3 inches of beautiful white powder! it snowed almost all day . . . most of it giant clumps falling from the sky! :) crazy enough . . . there were no cancellations. so, we made our own. . . we kept mck home and picked ken up at 10! :)
it was great. we played until we were wet and cold, came in, threw our stuff in the dryer, and warmed up, then repeated it all again! :) we made snowmen, made snow angels, threw snowballs, ate snow (yep, i made them all try some - they looked at me like i was crazy and then LOVED it!) they were each sooooo different in the snow. b.c. just wondered what the heck had happened and why everything was bright white . . . kam loved it for about 5 minutes, then was miserable and snotty and wanted to be held or come inside . . . mck really loved it until she was soaked and couldn't get warm then called it quits! i think one of her favorite parts may have been walking around in her panties waiting for her jeans to dry! . . . and ken could have stayed outside all day! she truly wanted to take in every minute and kept telling me "i have to play as much as i can! when do we ever have snow like this?"!
we enjoyed several cups of hot chocolate, made a giant heart shaped brownie with frosting and sprinkles. . . and to top off our day, it was national pancake day! so we had blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes for dinner! my kids LOVE pancakes. every time we make them we intend to have some leftover for the week . . . i made a ton of pancakes . . . here were the totals . . .
bailey - 10 (or maybe 12!)
ken - 9.5 (yes, that is true!)
mck - 7 or 8
me - 5 (and i was STUFFED!)
kam - 3.5
b.c. - 1.5
pretty soon it'll take more than one box of pancake mix to feed this family! i am chalking up the high totals to so much time playing in the snow . . . surely everyone had worked up an appetite, right? :)
and tonight . . . we look forward to our 2 hour delay in the morning! life is good.
