another snow day

By the end of February I am so over snow {actually I only want snow to occur in the month of December} and am looking forward to spring.  So what do you do when you wake up to a "snowpocalypse", snow thunder, and 12 inches of snow?  You try to enjoy it...for the sake of the superheroes and princess :).

This is what it looked like outside our front door...where there should be a road and driveway...

and out our kitchen window...

So you make yourself a 6 cup pot of coffee...all for yourself :)...

and enjoy the day!

{Avery trying to hide from my camera.  This is his first "official" snow day off school!}

We make some snow ice cream!  Avery asked me several times to confirm that there was no pee in it :)...Avery and Ellie enjoyed it.  Evan not so much.

The days following Valentine's day {well I should say the days following Halloween, Christmas, and Easter too} wouldn't be complete without some candy eating.

{Yes, Ellie does have sucker stuck in her hair.  Who got her that large sucker anyways, oh yeah that was me...}

E & E loving on each other again...unlike what happened the other day with the finger incident...

Of course there has to be playtime outside.  I will spare you the details of how getting ready for the snow goes because I already went over it here.

{At first Ellie told me she wasn't going to go outside, but after she saw the amount of snow she wanted to try it out too.}

{They were amazed at how much!}

{It took quite an effort just to walk through it.}

{They were half buried just standing there!}

{They tried sledding, but the snow was too deep for that.}

Finally, back inside for hot chocolate, more playtime, and snuggles.

Hopefully we won't be buried inside for too long, but the steps to our front door are impassible right now...
