We have gotten several little snow storms the last couple of weeks but we haven't had one that has left us some on the ground, until last Wed night. I had Thursday off of work for Veterans Day and when Madi woke up she was so excited to see snow on the ground. She asked me if we could play in it and I told her yes we could when it got later in the morning. Next thing I know she was standing in the kitchen with all her snow clothes on (this was 7:30 am). I informed her that it would be awhile before we went outside because we needed to eat breakfast and needed to wait until it warmed up a bit. After an hour of bugging me, I finally gave in, bundled Brekk up and headed outside (this is now ONLY 8:30).
On a side note, I am quite the scrooge when it comes to playing in the snow. I love to look at the snow and sometimes eat it :) but I hate getting all bundled up to go and play in it, get wet and freeze. Especially with kids, you spend all that time getting them ready and they only last for 5 minutes!
Well this day I decided to try to be a fun mom and put my dislike aside. And I am glad that I did because the kids had alot of fun and it was so cute to watch Brekk waddle around in his snow suit and watch Madi eat snow and make snow angels.
