Snow Day (x 3)

Day 1: School is closed because weather man says it's going to snow.  The boys are very excited and we are checking my weather app to see when the snow is coming.  Weather app shows a 30% chance of snow at 10:00am, so Aiden is literally counting down the minutes until 10:00, because he believes the snow will come at exactly 10:00.  Of course the snow does not come.  Finally around 11:30 we see a few flurries and the boys are putting their boots and hats on as fast as they can so they can run around in it (since nothing is actually sticking yet).  They were out for a while until I convinced them to come back in and wait for some snow to actually accumulate.  They did and they watched out the window, and we went back out later.  We spent most of the time snowball fighting; they loved the thought of throwing something at each other and not getting in trouble for it!  They wanted to build a snowman, but it was so dry, Jeff told them we would try tomorrow.    

 Day 2: The boys were up and anxious to go play and build a snow man as Dadda promised.  The snow was very dry and trying to roll it was difficult.  It took a while but Jeff managed to build a snowman, but he did most of the work by himself.  Mark kept falling down and he would get upset every time he did.  I picked him up, but not 3 steps later he would fall again.  He preferred to be inside, but the older boys spent most of the day outside.

 Day 3: Jeff had to go back to work, but the boys and I made the most of the snow we had left.  After looking at the forecast, I knew it was going to melt, so I told the boys we had to go play in the morning.  The snow was more wet so we decided to build another snowman; a bigger snowman!  It wasn't easy, but the boys helped me roll and we managed to make one that was as tall as Aiden!  Our neighbors built a little snowman and we ended up with a little family!

I actually love snowdays!  I love having everyone home together and no where to be at any certain time.  It was a nice break!
