Snow day!

On Friday night, we had a snowstorm come through. In the south, you never are really sure how much it truly will snow until it's actually finished, but the weatherman was fairly accurate and we got about 7 inches. As soon as they got up, the kids were begging to go outside. We made them wait until about 11:00 in hopes that it would stop snowing, but even when we went out, there were still a few flakes falling!

Charlie hasn't been feeling well, but there was no way he was going to miss playing in the snow!

Our house, covered with snow!

Alex, ready to play!

Lucy couldn't wait to sled.

Michael was less than excited about the sledding. . . .

Charlie's turn to sled!

Look how happy he is!!

Lucy had fun making snow angels.

Alex didn't want to miss out on the sledding fun!

After about 15 minutes, the kids complained of being cold and we were ready to go inside! It was a very powdery snow, so you couldn't really throw snowballs or build a snowman. And I am not one who wants to stay out in the snow .. .I'd much rather look at it from inside my house! We came in and then later that afternoon, the kids said they wanted to go out and get an icicle. They were satisfied though for their Daddy to go out and bring one back in for them!

We made soup for dinner and had a nice, lazy afternoon and evening. After dinner, Michael made snow cream for everyone - some with almond milk for the boys and regular milk for everyone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy it!
