snow day 2014

In honor of the 60 and 70 degree weather last weekend, I thought it would be a good time to share our snow day pictures. Obviously. And now it's back in the thirties. So there's that. 

I wrote last year during our one snowfall about the phenomenon that is a snow storm in the south. This year we were way more prepared in the snow gear department thanks to $15 coats and $3 mittens on Zulily. We still didn't have boots or snow pants though and we perfected the no-snow-boots-snow-boots. Socks, Saran wrap, fleece socks, Saran wrap, tape at the ankles, crocs. (Thank goodness I grabbed those at the consignment sale the week before.) Sure, it was a 20 minute process. But worth every second. 

It was so fun to see the girls actually enjoy the snow this year. We went out a few times and had to drag them back in every time. We built a snowman, made some snow angels, ate some snowman noses because why would you not, wandered in and out of neighbors' yards, and wandered across the street and around the house. And walked and wandered and wandered some more. For all the snow activities we did, this was by far their favorite. Snow...a brave new world, the final frontier. 

Until next year, snow. We heart you.
