Snowed In

We have been "snowed in", a phrase which has meant so much fun for my brood. Let's start with the snow part, the outdoor element of our last few days. Let's see if you can spot J wearing his navy blue snow gear in the first photo.
J mostly loves pelting people with snow, but if left alone he contentedly shovels, tunnels, climbs, burrows, and basks in the whiteness all around us. A and E looked on repeating their description of the scene: "'Shu-Uh, 'no." He taunted them with his smile and snowballs. In the end even E, my most hesitant little snowman, couldn't resist the frozen stuff today.
Ditch the hat (as cute as it might be) and keep the tutu--my girl has priorities. Ultimately I am most thankful that she loves to be outside, and that when we're all chilled and wet we have a warm house to return to.

Stay tuned for tomorrow's post about the indoor activities that have resulted from this weather-related school closure--J gets to stay home tomorrow, too. (Hallelujah!)
