{snow day}

We had our first official "no school" snow day last week. My first thought was ....PANIC!!!! What am I going to do with two babies and two rambunctious boys all day long? Then I realized that Hubs would mostly likely not being going to work either - help has arrived! So I decided to declare it "family fun day". Well, then we get the call that Hubs employer is opening it's doors at 10:00am....bye-bye Daddy. "Family fun day" quickly turned into "I think I feel a migraine coming on" day. I planned a few fun activities that the boys just really weren't into, or while I was feeding the babies, the boys decided to see how many lamps/pictures frames they could break by launching matchbox cars across the family room. All in all, we had a few special moments among the chaos (isn't that life in a nutshell?) and I had my camera along to capture it.

We filled the bathtub* with snow! The boys thought it was the best fun ever! They put on their mittens and went to town scooping and dumping, and even a little taste testing!


*(Yes, I know that's mildew in the corners of my tub....I like it there!)

This is the closest L & N will get to playing in the snow this year! I found the snowflake template here. Happy snow days everyone!

so I'm totally tempted to steal BOTH ideas for you - the picture with the babies is just too cute. : )

I continue to think of you often Callie. Let me know when the babies can get out and they can come play some morning so you can nap or get out!

The snow in the tub idea is awesome.

And those babies are getting cuter and cuter. I'm sure you are having so much fun despite the exhaustion.
