"Snow Day!"

Yesterday, the forecast of snow came true. It snowed all through the day, so we got to enjoy watching it dance down from the clouds. You were very excited about the possibility of getting to go out and play in it. Even I get excited at the possibility of a snow day. It was slowly building up on the grass and bushes, but through the night while we were all fast asleep, it continued to snow, and when we got up, it blanketed everything. You wanted to go outside as soon as you got up, but we were able to hold you back until we saw at least one other person outside in the cold. So we layered you and bundled you (you have a cold already) up and went to it. Now everyone was out; Bella and Grace next door, and Dalton on the other side, along with lots of other kids in the neighborhood. We made snow angels, caught snowflakes on the tips of our tongues, and had a snowball fight. Dalton got you good right in the face with a huge ball of snow! You said you didn't like that part though. I didn't let you stay outside for long because of the cold, but really, Mommy was freezing!
