Snow Day x2

On December 6 and 9 the kiddos had a snow day. Here in the Willamette Valley we do not get snow. The weather is totally different than it is back home in Southern Oregon, which has 4 distinct seasons, and the valley has rain.

Missy has been saying it was going to snow that Friday all week, so when she woke up and there was snow all over the ground, and no school you could only imagine how ecstatic she was.

Before I even had a chance to make breakfast, the older two were asking to go out and play. So I helped them get in their warm clothes, and out they went. They had such a great time.

Ready to go

 

 

Yay for snow!

Then on Monday December 9, the kiddos had another snow day. It worked out perfect that my girlfriends little girl (who is a month older than Missy) was able to come, and spend the day with us while her mama was at work. The kiddos has such a fun time playing together.

They did some finger painting, dress up, which included a fashion show, as well as Barbies, and trains.

That morning I had forgot I had brought a full box of Cheerios into the toy room to distract the trio while changing diapers, and getting them dressed. Needless to say they found it... and emptied it.

This guy woke up from his nap with a major blow out, which required not only a clean outfit, but also a bath.

E -- all refreshed and ready to play

After all the crazyness, the older two and I took advantage of the opportunity and baked some cookies. Who doesn't love warm cookies and a cup of cold milk?

Peanut butter cookies coming up

 We really did have a good time playing in the snow, and I am so grateful that the kiddos have had the opportunity to play in the snow like I did when I was growing up. Here is to dreaming of white Christmas!
