SNOW DAY!!

I'm going to do my pictures from today in 2 separate posts because it bugs me that the pictures don't show up in the same order that I enter them!!

So anyway, both girls had snow days today due to the reported 12.8 inches of snow we had. I decided I was going to try to entertain them in the hopes of averting any major arguing or other crisis. So, when it was time for Carter to lay down for his nap, we made homemade soft pretzels with a recipe given to me by my friend Katy! Here they are baking...


and the finished product.....
Carter eating his "C" pretzel (when he got up)

Morgan eating her "7" pretzel that she made because (and I quote) "she is only 6 1/2 but really wants to be 7" Personally, I think it looks a little more like a comma, but potato/potatoe.

Here is Emma eating her "e" pretzel!

Here are some pictures I took out various windows because I didn't want to go outside!

More pictures of playing in the snow in the next post.....

SNOW DAY!! (part deux)

The girls saw our neighbors, Carly and Wilson, playing outside in the snow and wanted to go out too! I had planned on letting them anyway, so I bundled them up and send them out.

Emma needed her hat fixed and I wasn't about to go outside in the foot deep snow, so I opened the window and fixed it!
Carter enjoyed standing by the window and watching them. This was as close as he got to playing outside in the snow!

They started throwing snow balls at him and he thought it was hilarious!!!!!!

My snow angel!

Morgan and Wilson

When the kids moved to the front yard, Carter went to the front door to watch them
Sledding!

What better way to end a big play in the snow than coming inside and having some hot chocolate?!?! Even Carter loved it!
