Snow Day!!!

Work started back yesterday after a really nice Christmas break and I was really dragging my feet to go back this year.  I miss being home with the kids.  They are so much fun right now and at great ages and I love spending time with them and I know that in a blink of an eye they will be off to school.  As luck would have it, I survived one day back at work yesterday and then the gods sent several inches of snow to Powell in the early morning hours this morning and we got a SNOW DAY!  It was so nice being back home with the kids again today!  Nolan requested pancakes for breakfast so we had a relaxing breakfast in our jammies, I got some things done around the house, we played in the snow, we played in the basement, we had lunch together.  It was just nice.  I don't mean to be greedy but the wind chills are supposed to be -25 degrees on Thursday morning (cold day anyone)? 

 The beginning of the bundling.  Notice the smiles on their faces.  As I put more and more layers on them the smiles quickly faded.  Nolan ended up in full tantrum mode over wearing a hat and having his coat zipped up to his neck.  He sat in the laundry room and screamed his face off for 10-15 minutes while Quinn and I went outside.  He got over it and had a BLAST playing in the snow!

 Poor baby couldn't move she was so bundled up.  She also couldn't hold on to anything or pick anything up because her fingers only took up half of the mitten and I'm pretty sure her thumb wasn't in the thumb slot.  The shovel just rested in her hand for these pictures.  Notice she also won out with the "nuk" in her mouth.

 Other than being partially immobile she had a good time outside.  She pushed the shovel around a couple of times but really enjoyed being pulled around on the sled or sledding down the little hill in our front yard. 

 After we headed in, warmed up, and ate some lunch Nolan wanted to spend some time on his Nabi (preschool tablet thing).  I walked away to do something and this is how I found the two of them.

 Love them all cuddled up together.

Nolan is a good big brother.

Back to work tomorrow.  Looking forward to the next snow day!
