snow what fun it is :)

Snow days. Love, LOVED them when I was a kid, and love them just as much now. About 5-6 inches of snow was dumped on the Atlanta metro area last night, and we were thrilled to wake up to the beautiful white fluffiness this morning. School was canceled, Brian's office was closed...we are snowed in. Awesome. :)

By about 9:30 the boys were over being patient, and ready to gear up for some outside time. So we layered up, grabbed cookie sheets to use as sleds (they really worked!), and headed out. The giant hill we have in our backyard is a beating when Brian has to mow it, but it sure is great when it's covered in snow.

Our next door neighbors had sleds and came over to share and play with us. We've got to get some of these. Wish you could have heard the happy-screaming-Hud as he was flying down the hill.

Harrison was smiling like this pretty much the whole time...sledding, throwing snowballs, making snow angels...we finally had to drag him in. :)

And this little guy was in snow heaven as well, loving it, laughing, sledding for about an hour. And then when he was done, he was DONE. Oh, the crying. "There's snow in my boots. There's snow in my gloves. There's snow in my eyeballs. I WANT TO GO IN!!" So we did. ;)

So while Hunter and I went in and warmed up, the other three kept on. And neighbors joined in. Have I mentioned how much I love our neighbors?

And this guy was loving it too. I loved watching him play and laugh,
totally covered in snow, sledding, sliding, throwing snowballs...greatness.

And yes, even I joined in the fun. I had forgotten how much I LOVE to sled. Haven't done it since we lived in Montana when I was 10. It's been awhile. ;)

Definitely have to say it's been a magical day. And school has already been canceled again tomorrow....yippee!!

  2. How fun! We got a foot of snow last year & the kids feel that it is their right to get as much this year too now. They are so dissapointed it has not happened yet. Glad to see you all had so much fun in it!
