SNOW DAYS

I love snow, probably because we don't get it very often, so when we do get it, I love it! This has been an amazing week of family time and stay at home time, which we all desperately needed. This has been our week so far:

Monday: Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday- No school

Tuesday: Wake-up, get ready to go to work, get a call from the school district-no school (we have NO snow at our house).

Tuesday night: Do the snow dance to get snow. Jealous of everyone else playing in it.

Wednesday: No school- WE have snow:)

Thursday: No school- Lots of snow/freezing rain

Friday: ????

I know we're going to have to make up those days later in the year, but right now these snow days have been total bliss:) This is Kenton's first snow!

When we went out on Wednesday, it was pretty windy so the snow kept slamming us in the face.
They are ready for a ride. Daddy forgot to tell Sophia to hold on to Kenton. He gave a push and out rolled Kenton face first in the snow (not the best first impression for him, haha). When TJ picked him up his binky was covered in snow and his eyebrows and face were covered in it too. So sad, but quite funny at the same time.

So as you can imagine, that was it for Kenton for that day. His face was cold already, but now it was frozen and bright red. Way to go TJ, haha!



Since Daddy did it, he went in with Kenton and I stayed outside to play with Sophia. We did some more sledding, threw snowballs, well kind of balls, and built a little snowman. Our snowman is totally edible!

We went out again the next day to play some more and give Kenton a more positive experience!

Kenton is ready!

We forgot to make a snow angel the day before, so we made sure to do it today!

He didn't mind sitting in it, but had so many clothes on that he couldn't really move.

Look how I tell Sophia to hold on to Kenton, hehe:) Who says you can't use boogie boards in Washington? They make great sleds!

I think Kenton was having flashbacks because he looked very worried and was not too sure. When he went down with me, he wanted to hold on tight around me:)

Thank you snow for the fun times and good memories:)!
