First Snow

It snowed Friday, Jan. 12th and of course schools were cancelled, including our Friday tutorial. I didn't even bother letting the kids out in the snow because it takes so long to get them bundled up for such a short time spent outside. I used the day to catch up and/or get ahead in a couple subjects.

Saturday morning I caved because who doesn't let their kids play in the snow? It's not like we get much here in the south. So, I bundled everyone up in multiple layers, including myself so I could go out with them. And whaddayaknow.... they were outside for about 10 minutes. I was walking around with Maggie, from back to front and by the time we got back, Jake & Allie had gone in. *Sigh. I love my kids and am glad to spend some time with doing special things like playing in the snow, just seems like it should last longer.

 Fresh snow before the tracks. Then the littles came out and went straight to snow angels. Allie didn't care for it much and moved on to the swingset.

 Maggie enjoyed making an angel then 'eating' the snow before we started our trek through the snow

The tracks Maggie and I made walking toward the front of the house. This was the short walk we made where we returned to no children because they ran inside. It was still fun and everyone warmed up by the fire when we came in. Sweet times with my kiddos.
