Snow Day 2013

Snow was predicted and lo and behold, snow it did! I had already decided that today was going to be a "snow day" for us whether it snowed or not and while I had visions of a morning spent snuggling on the couch watching cartoons with my babes...


this little girl was thinking quite the opposite. She woke up before the sun SO excited about the snow... and might I add at this point it was only a very light dusting... at 6:30 am she starting BEGGING to get out in it. She kept asking if it was Christmas, coupled with the fact that we received a wayward Christmas card yesterday, she had a somewhat valid point. I held her off for as long as I could and then we bundled up and headed out!



Little sister just loved that she got to join the party. She spent most of her time copying whatever it was her sissy was doing.




We came inside and warmed up with some hot chocolate snow cream. Then it was back outside... this time they braved the cold alone and I watched from a window conveniently located next to the fireplace. They rode the Polaris and played until Mae's mitten got wet and then the party was over. Lunch for all, nap for Mae, more snow cream for me and then it was all gone. I use snow days as an excuse to do not one.single.thing all the day long so tomorrow I get to play catch up. It was fun while it lasted. =)

My sweet friend, Jennifer, gave me my first ever blog "award" several weeks ago... at least I think she did... I never really know how all this works... anyway, she wants to know the answers to these questions so without further adieu...

1.  If you could have any super power, what would it be and why?

Meals would be cooked at the blink of an eye and the house would be cleaned at the twitch of the nose. Are those super powers?... surely there's a Supermom comic out there somewhere?

2.  What is your favorite time of day?

The {too} short moment in the morning when the girls just wake up. Mae in my lap, Bes right beside us, drinking their chocolate milk while watching cartoons just before our day officially begins.

3. What is your favorite tv show or movie of all time?

My fav tv show of all time is The Cosby Show. When Rudy was little. I do better with tv shows. I'll be honest, I've seen the first half of many a movie... I can't help it. I fall asleep every.single.time. 


4.  If you could pick one thing to be incredibly talented at (that you aren't already), what would it be?

Parenting. It's MUCH harder than I thought it would be. They grow up to be real people. That's a HUGE responsibility!!


5.  If a movie was made about your life, who would you want to play you?

I immediately thought Reese Witherspoon. I like to think that we could be the best of pals, me and her.
