It's no secret that I love snow, and I love snow days! But the ice, that I'm not so fond of! But because of the quarter-inch of ice and sleet we got through the night, our winter break began a day early (yeah! But our summer vacation will be prolonged a day - boo!). We all slept in, watched some cartoons, then Carter and I ventured downstairs while Andy worked (or pretended to .. I'm not too convinced he was actually working!). Carter and I played, and we organized her room, uncovering some of our old favorite books that had ended up in the bottom of a drawer!
After nap, we all headed outside to play in the "snow." It was more like "tromping on the ice," as the snow was covered in a sheet of icy yuck. While Andy worked on snowblowing the drive (so glad that's not my job!), Carter and I walked back to the church parking lot, with a mountain of snow! She was amazed by the snow mountain! We both climbed it and slid to the bottom. After a few slides and 20 freezing fingers, we headed back home for hot chocolate and marshmallows ... or marshmallows with a little bit of hot chocolate!
Headed to Snow Mountain!
"Wow! This's pretty big, Mommy!"
Now ... to get down ....
Two frozen Chalupa's!
The best way to warm up: hot chocolate and snuggling on the couch!
