Snow Day

When we first got up this morning, Hank went to the window and was very disappointed that it had not snowed. When Tres woke up a short time later, he came dejectedly into our bedroom and announced, "No snow."
Then it started! And nothing could have kept them from being out in it!

Once Bryant woke up, he joined them for a while. But soon was back inside declaring it to be, "Too cold!" I personally think he just wanted hot chocolate more at that moment!

Tres came in for a quick breakfast and while we were eating, it really started snowing... so breakfast was abandoned and snowball making, snowman building, and Alabama-style sledding began!

Tres's first snowball! He enjoyed some father-son time while Bryant stayed inside wtih me for a while.

But soon, Bry's curiosity got the better of him... and he couldn't stand to be left out a second longer!

So he bundled up good and warm, and headed back out for more fun!

Our first (little tiny) snowman! Tres ate his nose after this picture!

My snow men out in front of the house getting ready to sled down the yard, which happens to be perfect for cold weather activities!

Then it was on to a snowball fight. They decided to build an arsenal to attack Darth Vadar (Daddy) with.

Han Solo (Bryant) and Luke Skywalker (Tres) handily defeated Vadar and then...

tried to turn their weapons on me!! How did Princess Leia become a bad guy?

It's been a fun day so far! We are making them take a break and getting them thawed out. They are already begging to go back outside. And I hate to tell them that the snow is already disappearing. But 'Snow Day' wouldn't be special if it lasted too long, huh?

I'm making a big pot of Chicken Tortilla Soup for lunch, and we got ingredients to make Smores in the oven later on. I love family times like this. It makes me so very thankful for my life.
