Snow Days

We have gotten a pretty decent snow here. At least a few inches and it has fallen off and on for 2 days. The kids were so excited to get up to snow yesterday morning. Of course, all they could think about was going out and building a snowman. That is impossible anyways, because it is such a dry snow, but I finally caved and let them go out. We did the whole bundling up thing and layers of clothes, but it is pretty useless when the temperatures are so low. We told them that they could play out for 30 minutes. Well, we didn't last that long. It was about 20 minutes I guess. It was too cold, but they got a bit of it out of their system at least:







They each had some Christmas money burning in their piggy banks and I refused to let them bring another toy into this house. I got an MP3 with some of my money. The Micah went and spent some of his money on an MP3 player, of course the girls wanted one too. So, we went last night and let them make the purchase. Chloe inherited Micah's old MP3, which is a Disney one that takes a memory card and more for little kids. Then, of course, they all needed new headphones to complete the purchase.

They have all been so funny today dancing around with these on their heads. It is not very funny when I have to repeat everything that I say twice or three times, because they have music in their ears.



So today, I'm not going to be suckered into going out and letting them play in the snow. It is pretty, but only sitting by the window with a hot drink in my hand, and a heater by my feet!
